Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger developed quantum theory’s wave equation, which describes quantum systems as waves that ...

Physicists have long struggled to unite quantum mechanics—the theory governing tiny particles—with Einstein’s theory of ...

The image depicts an experiment in which heavy particles(illustrated as the moon), cause an interference pattern (a quantum effect), while also bendingspacetime. The ...

A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

At long last, a unified theory combining gravity with the other fundamental forces—electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces—is within reach. Bringing gravity into the fold has been the ...

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 ...

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

Tiny but ageing neutrinos can be used to test the very foundations of quantum theory at unprecedented cosmological time scales Schrodinger’s skinniest kittens Must the Schrodinger’s Cat be fat enough ...
