Quantum mechanics has a reputation that precedes it. Virtually everyone who has bumped up against the quantum realm, whether ...

At cosmological scales, Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity has given scientists an immensely accurate blueprint ...

Landauer's principle is a thermodynamics concept also relevant in information theory, which states that erasing one bit of information from an information system results in the dissipation of at least ...

A new quantum recipe for black holes could be the first step toward a theory of "quantum gravity", the "holy grail" of ...

Nearly 50 years ago, physicists floated a bold idea: our universe might be stuck in a false vacuum. This state feels stable, ...

Quantum field theory is the basic language of the most accurate physical theory yet devised. However, our understanding of the quantum world has grown enormously since Bohr’s time. Indeed, there are ...

Both consciousness and the quantum field are fields of infinite and unbounded possibilities, challenging traditional views of reality. The long-sought-for proof of a unified field theory has ...

Quantum Field Theory tells us that the Universe and everything in it, including us and all living things, the whole planet, every star, every galaxy, and even stuff outside the visible Universe ...

Why Gravity Resists Unification The Standard Model is built on a framework called quantum field theory. This theory merges classical field theory, quantum mechanics, and special relativity.

Quantum Entanglement is the biggest mystery of science that could upend life as we know it, writes Satyen K. Bordoloi.

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.
