A new three-volume study explores how quantum physics, gravitation and cosmology may be understood within a unified ...

Anthony J. Leggett, who shared the Nobel Prize in physics in 2003 for discovering that the anomalies in his colleagues' experiments were in fact signs of a scientific breakthrough -- that the rare gas ...

For the first time, scientists have observed how tiny metal "thorns" called dendrites sprout inside lithium-ion batteries, which can cause the batteries to short-circuit. Their findings, published Mar ...

Dr. Randolf Pohl from the Institute for Physics at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU), have successfully conducted experiments on hydrogen atoms which allow testing of the Standard Model of ...

When we want to weigh something, the process is simple. We place it on a weighing machine or on a traditional balance. The number appears and we insta.

Pushed down to a certain scale, the laws of physics seem to fall apart. Astrid Eichhorn, a leader in an area of study called asymptotic safety, thinks we just need to push a little further.

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay have proposed a new test to measure the “quantumness” of gravity after finding that conventional “quantum entanglement-based” tests may be ...

Researchers at IIT Bombay have proposed a new test, dynamical fidelity susceptibility (DFS), to measure the 'quantumness' of gravity, suggesting that conventional entanglement-based tests may be ...

Electron movement and structures described in quantum physics allow researchers to better understand how and why materials like superconductors behave ...
