On January 22, 2025, physicists unveiled a groundbreaking discovery that could revolutionize our understanding of the universe and potentially unlock the secrets of time travel. The existence of ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is ...

For close to a century, scientists have been trying to marry Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and quantum ...

A UC Irvine team uncovered a never-before-seen quantum phase formed when electrons and holes pair up and spin in unison, ...

Exploring the BTZ black hole in (2+1)-dimensional gravity took me down a fascinating rabbit hole, connecting ideas I never expected—like black holes and topological phases in quantum matter! When I ...

Shattered glass does not leap back into your hand. Smoke from a match does not gather itself and crawl back inside. In ...

A new hypothesis known as the Quantum Memory Matrix (QMM) could help explain some of the biggest mysteries of the universe, including the Black Hole Information Paradox. The idea is that space-time ...

Unfortunately, any work you do in the universe will have to be done the old-fashioned way. There may be an infinite amount of energy locked in the vacuum of space-time. So could we ever harness this ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In the fall of 2022, a Princeton University graduate student named Carolina Figueiredo stumbled onto a massive coincidence. She ...

Let’s talk about quantum gravity experiments that can be done here on Earth! If we discover how to connect quantum mechanics with general relativity we’ll pretty much win physics. There are multiple ...
