Scientists aim to build the first graviton detector to explore gravity's quantum nature, despite significant challenges.

Large masses – such as a galaxy – curve space-time. Objects move along a geodesic. If we take into account that space-time itself has quantum properties, deviations arise (dashed line vs. solid line).

110 years ago today, Albert Einstein published his General Theory of Relativity, which redefined the relationship between matter and gravity. Suddenly, our mysterious universe made a little more sense ...

In 1980, Stephen Hawking gave his first lecture as Lucasian Professor at the University of Cambridge. The lecture was called “Is the end in sight for theoretical physics?” Hawking, who later became my ...

Recent advancements in observational techniques have led to the capture of high-resolution images of black hole shadows, which are challenging the completeness of Einstein’s general theory of ...

As physicists search for a theory of quantum gravity, new results show that classical gravity can still interact with quantum fields to allow matter to become entangled. When you purchase through ...

A virtual confirmation hearing for President Donald Trump's surgeon general pick Dr. Casey Means has been postponed because she went into labor. Means, 38, was appearing remotely because she was nine ...

Alfredo has a PhD in Astrophysics and a Master's in Quantum Fields and Fundamental Forces from Imperial College London. Alfredo has a PhD in Astrophysics and a Master's in Quantum Fields and ...

The search for a Theory of Everything or Grand Unification Theory is the most ambitious goal in modern physics, aiming to reconcile the laws of gravity (General Relativity) with the laws of the very ...

The Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) will hold a virtual confirmation hearing over the nomination of Casey Means to be U.S. surgeon general next week, five months ...

Tiny “Ferris wheels” made from light and extremely cold particles could allow researchers to test a facet of Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity on unprecedentedly small scales. Theories of special ...
