In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

It isn’t often that physics produces news that diverts the mainstream media from politics, crime and sports. But, now, in the space of four years’ time, physicists have twice elevated the intellectual ...

A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

Quantum theory and general relativity will only be unified when theory meets experiment Physics in the 20th century was built on two great revolutions: the general theory of relativity and quantum ...

The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics," may be hiding in a quantum recipe to cook up black holes. That's the suggestion of new research that adds quantum corrections to ...

Physicist claims to have the formula for creating and controlling gravitational waves iStock A maths researcher claims to have produced the formula to not only create gravitational fields, but also ...

Despite decades of searching, the "dark matter" thought to hold galaxies together is still nowhere to be found. Matthew Chalmers describes how some physicists think it makes more sense to change our ...
