A new way of explaining gravity could bring us a step closer to resolving the heretofore irresolvable differences it has with quantum mechanics. Physicists Mikko Partanen and Jukka Tulkki at Aalto ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, perfectly described on cosmic scales yet refusing to mesh with the quantum rules that govern everything else. A growing camp ...

In the vast universe, galaxies rotate in ways that don’t make sense if only visible matter is considered. For almost a century, scientists have tried to explain this by searching for a hidden force ...

As far as we know, our physical world is governed by four fundamental forces: electromagnetism, weak and strong nuclear forces, and gravity. Apart from playing with bar magnets or marveling at the ...

A theoretical superconductor in which pairs of elementary particles circulate around a chiral axis displays quantum behaviours that could reveal the elusive secrets of quantum gravity, a study ...
