For experimental physicists, the latest measurement of the muon is the best of times. For theorists there's still work to do. If we take out all the matter, neutrinos, dark matter, cosmic rays, and ...

A new study published in Scientific Reports simulates particle creation in an expanding universe using IBM quantum computers, demonstrating the digital quantum simulation of quantum field theory for ...

Gravity, long the sovereign force in the cosmic hierarchy, may be little more than a statistical side effect a byproduct of entropy, not a fundamental interaction. That is the provocative assertion ...

The force we experience most intimately remains the most mysterious. Physicists understand how vast migrations of particles called photons light up our homes, and how swarms of “gluon” particles hold ...

A number of experiments have been proposed to generate and witness gravitational entanglement, but Aziz and Howl’s work suggests that the presence of gravitational entanglement is not a ‘smoking gun’ ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other. Quantum theory governs particles and fields, while Einstein’s gravity describes ...
