Waterloo scientists have developed a new way to understand how the universe began, and it could change what we know about the Big Bang and the earliest moments of cosmic history. Their work suggests ...

The weak gravitational pull on a particle just half the mass of a grain of sand has been measured for the first time. This most precise measurement of its kind is a breakthrough towards the quantum ...

The collective gravity of countless neutrinos gently irons out the wrinkles in the cosmic web, preventing matter from ...

A unified Theory Of Everything is the holy grail of physics, but gravity refuses to play ball. A newly proposed theory attempts to unify Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics – and ...

Quantum physicists at ANU have observed atoms entangled in motion. "It's really weird for us to think that this is how the ...

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 ...

Here’s what you’ll learn in this story. A new paper uses a simplified model to prove that gravity can be unified between quantum and standard physics. The simpler model still meets the established ...

Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever tabletop experiment, researchers at Leiden University in the ...

The result from CERN confirms expectations, but it's the first time gravity’s effect on the stuff has actually been tested. Reading time 3 minutes In the 95 years we’ve known about antimatter, ...

"Studying quantum aspects of gravity experimentally doesn't just require deep understanding of physics—relativity, quantum mechanics—but also demands hands-on expertise in system design, ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. When it comes to understanding the fabric of the universe, most of what scientists think exists is consigned to a dark, murky domain.
