Scientists have proposed a new test to hopefully help shed some light on quantum gravity. Gravity is the only major force in the universe that doesn’t fit into our current quantum framework ...

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 ...

At cosmological scales, Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity has given scientists an immensely accurate blueprint ...

According to scientific legend, quantum mechanics was born on the island of Helgoland in 1925. A hundred years later, ...

Quantum fields represent particles and their interactions. For example, the electromagnetic force holds charged particles together. These fields have different directions and strengths, much like ...

Physicists are a step closer to using quantum computers for simulations that are beyond the ability of any ordinary computers ...

Today’s most sensitive magnetic field detectors exploit quantum effects to map the presence of extremely weak fields. ... centres in diamond. These structures can be fabricated inside a nanopillar on ...

Scientists Think Gravity Isn’t Just a Force—It’s an Untapped Quantum Field. And they’re getting closer to confirming it. By Jackie Appel Published: Nov 13, 2024 9:30 AM EST.
