The search for quantum gravity is the next big step in physics, as researchers seek to unify the physics of the very small ...
Dark excitons are exotic light-matter states found in atomically thin semiconductors. They usually remain invisible because ...

The reconciliation of general relativity and quantum mechanics is one of the biggest challenges in science, one that continues to elude us. Now, a new study by Anjun Chu and colleagues has examined ...
For obvious reasons, we do not know what the inside of a black hole looks like. But thanks to theoretical physics, we can ask ...
Bell Inequalities, Relativity, and the Qubit, by William Stuckey, Michael Silberstein and Timothy McDevitt, Oxford University ...
If true, it could mean the universe is destined to collapse rather than expand forever. Einstein proposed the cosmological ...
For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes ...
They discovered a way around an important quantum physics law, enabling a future ability to navigate an interstellar journey, ...
A hundred times more than relativity theory -- "An act of desperation" -- The impudent Swabian -- The gypsy life -- Two pillars of wisdom -- The perfect instruments of the creator -- More heat than ...
The study of quantum gases and Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) continues to redefine our understanding of matter at ultracold temperatures. When cooled to nanokelvin regimes, quantum gases exhibit ...
