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

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, ...

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

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

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 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.

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.

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

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 ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is ...
