"By understanding quantum gravity, we could solve some of the mysteries of our universe — like how it began, what happens inside black holes, or uniting all forces into one big theory." ...

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.

It’s what chic geeks are wearing this year, a T-shirt emblazoned with Garrett Lisi’s E8 theory of everything. On the front of the shirt is a 2D projection of the E8 lattice, which itself occupies ...

Could a Djinn Particle cause real time loops? Neil deGrasse Tyson and J. Richard Gott explore this wild theory, blending ...

Quantum field theory marries the ideas of other quantum theories to depict all particles as “excitations” that arise in underlying fields. The British physicist Paul Dirac started the ball ...

A century since Werner Heisenberg changed the course of physics, five of the world's leading physicists examine the greatest achievements of quantum mechanics and look forward to the next 100 ...

Physicists have used a novel technique to observe individual atoms interacting in free space for the first time ever. The new technique confirms a century-old quantum mechanical theory.

Kruczenski and Khlebnikov research string theory and its application to quantum matter. They will combine their theoretical and experimental skills to produce a novel experimental testing ground.
