Quantum mechanics has a reputation that precedes it. Virtually everyone who has bumped up against the quantum realm, whether ...

The Langlands programme has inspired and befuddled mathematicians for more than 50 years. A major advance has now opened up ...

That's the suggestion of new research that adds quantum corrections to Einstein's 1916 theory of gravity, known as "general relativity." Black holes are relevant to this because they first ...

A unified theory of everything has long eluded scientists due to gravity being irreconcilable with the three other fundamental forces (electromagnetic, weak, and strong) described using quantum ...

Nearly 50 years ago, physicists floated a bold idea: our universe might be stuck in a false vacuum. This state feels stable, ...

That is the provocative assertion behind Professor Ginestra Bianconi’s latest work, which reframes gravity as an emergent phenomenon arising from the interplay of spacetime geometry, quantum ...

Researchers are using machine learning, symbolic regression, and high-performance computing to explore and classify string ...

Scientists reveal new quantum gravity black hole solutions that challenge Einstein’s relativity, offering a step toward a unified theory of physics.

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.
