Sabrina Pasterski's journey from building an aircraft as a teenager to studying Einstein's biggest unanswered questions has ...

More than a century after Einstein first devised the equations that describe gravity, physicists are still finding new ways ...

A theoretical study describes how gravitational field structures could change their connections, drawing on methods used in ...

Physicists have found a new mathematical way to connect Einstein’s description of gravity with ideas from quantum physics. The result may help scientists investigate one of the biggest unanswered ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to merge Einstein’s smooth space-time with the jittery world of quantum mechanics. A new wave of ...

Before determining the correct quantum theory of gravity, researchers need to know if gravity is actually quantized. Experiments testing that assumption are now being developed. Quantum fluctuations ...

Detecting the faint pull between individual atomic nuclei once seemed firmly outside the realm of possibility. Now, ...

All the fundamental forces are thought to be carried by a particle, but a new mathematical model suggests gravity may be a striking exception. Building on a decades-old idea, researchers have revealed ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. For the first time, physicists have measured the tiny quantum shift an object acquires by falling through Earth's gravity — an ...
