Sebastian Mizera just joined the physics department as an assistant professor, researching quantum field theory.

Physicists have chased a unified description of nature for more than a century, yet quantum theory and gravity have ...

A radical new theory begins with a central claim: consciousness is the fundamental field of reality; time, space, and matter ...

In the 18th century, the scientific world was drunk on Newtonian certainty. The universe was a clockwork mechanism, ...

A new theory for the origins of dark matter suggests that fast-moving, neutrino-like dark particles could have decoupled from ...

For decades, physicists have faced one of science’s greatest puzzles: merging quantum mechanics, which describes tiny particles, with general relativity, which explains the universe’s vast structures.

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 ...

For close to a century, scientists have been trying to marry Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and quantum ...

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.

Researchers at the University of Twente and Utrecht University demonstrated for the first time that quantum states in the ...

A quarter of a century ago a conjec­ture shook the world of theoretical physics. It had the aura of revelation. “At first, we had a magical statement ... almost out of nowhere,” says Mark Van ...
