Humble explains how these collaborations ensure that Oak Ridge’s powerful facilities and instruments are used to create new quantum technologies. He also explains how the lab’s expertise in quantum ...

The universe, in all its complexity and vastness, has fascinated humanity for centuries. But what truly lies beneath the surface of this seemingly endless expanse? For a long time, scientists believed ...

Physicists from the University of Pennsylvania, working with colleagues at Arizona State University, are examining the limitations of a framework that aims to unify the laws of physics throughout the ...

In the strange, often unintuitive world of quantum physics, one mystery has stood out for decades: Can quantum entanglement be manipulated in a reversible way, like energy in a perfect heat engine?

Quantum mechanics looks at how things work at the atomic and subatomic levels, where particles behave in ways that seem ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

Why Gravity Resists Unification The Standard Model is built on a framework called quantum field theory. This theory merges classical field theory, quantum mechanics, and special relativity.

"A quantum theory of gravity is needed to understand what kind of phenomena there are in cases where there's a gravitational field and high energies," says Partanen.

The G-field, as a Lagrange multiplier, offers a new interpretation of this elusive substance that constitutes a large part of the Universe's mass. Future research will need to explore the implications ...

Scientists think gravity could be a quantum field, and they're getting closer to confirming it.
