Scientists in Wales have built the world’s most sensitive table-top interferometer, which is a miniature, ultra-precise ...

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.

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 ...

Quantum gravity strives to reconcile the seemingly disparate realms of general relativity and quantum mechanics. Central to this endeavour is the realisation that classical concepts of spacetime may ...

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 years, ...
