WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.—Renowned French scientist Alain Aspect, who won the 2022 Nobel Prize for his pathfinding research in quantum physics, will give a lecture on Monday (May 13) at Purdue University ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek, considered one of the world’s most eminent theoretical physicists and a pioneer in modern quantum theory, will join Purdue University President ...

The quantum world has a reputation for being elusive, but physicists are now starting to watch it unfold in real time. For ...

Unifying gravity and quantum theory remains a significant goal in modern physics. Despite the success in unifying all other fundamental interactions (electromagnetism, strong force and weak force) ...

Maria Violaris works on quantum foundations as an academic visitor at the University of Oxford, UK, and on quantum computing at Oxford Quantum Circuits, Reading, UK. Norma G. Sanchez, is the founder ...

A RECENT GROUNDBREAKING EXPERIMENT in which anesthesia was administered to rats has convinced scientists that tiny structures in the rodents’ brains are responsible for the experience of consciousness ...

A new theory of quantum gravity, which attempts to unite quantum physics with Einstein's relativity, could help solve the puzzle of the universe's expansion, a theoretical paper suggests. When you ...

In a new Physical Review Letters study, researchers propose an experimental approach that could finally determine whether gravity is fundamentally classical or quantum in nature. The nature of gravity ...

A new theory suggests that the unification between quantum physics and general relativity has eluded scientists for 100 years because huge "fluctuations" in space and time mean that gravity won't play ...

The ball rolls across the floor because it was kicked, just as Earth orbits the sun because it is tugged by gravity. The connection between cause and effect is fundamental to how we understand the ...
