Einstein’s claim that the speed of light is constant has survived more than a century of scrutiny—but scientists are still ...

Wormholes are often imagined as tunnels through space or time—shortcuts across the universe. But this image rests on a ...

With support from the W. M. Keck Foundation, a Stevens–Yale collaboration is now transforming graviton detection from a ...

The study of quantum gravity seeks a synthesis between quantum mechanics and general relativity, and Causal Dynamical Triangulations (CDT) has emerged as a promising nonperturbative approach. In CDT, ...

Physicists are preparing an experiment that sounds like science fiction: a device designed to snare individual particles of ...

This episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast features Alex May, whose research explores the intersection of quantum ...

Quantum gravity and field theory represent a frontier where the principles of quantum mechanics are reconciled with Einstein’s description of gravity. Researchers are seeking a consistent framework ...

Physicists have long treated space and time as the stage on which quantum particles perform, not as actors in the drama ...

Physicist Ralf Schützhold proposes using powerful laser interferometers to exchange energy with gravitational waves, ...
