Albert Einstein changed science forever with special and general relativity, redefining space, time, and gravity. Yet after his greatest triumphs, he became obsessed with something even bigger — a ...

Einstein was a great thinker who made plenty of mistakes—errors that sometimes led to more meaningful discoveries in physics, ...

Few of Albert Einstein’s sayings have been as widely quoted as his remark that God does not play dice with the universe. People have naturally taken his quip as proof that he was dogmatically opposed ...

The reconciliation of general relativity and quantum mechanics is one of the biggest challenges in science, one that continues to elude us. Now, a new study by Anjun Chu and colleagues has examined ...

Researchers have unveiled a new model for the universe’s birth that replaces cosmic inflation with gravitational waves as the ...

While quantum phenomena can be demonstrated using experiments such as the Double-Slit Experiment, certifying that a multi-qubit system is truly tapping into quantum mechanics is a challenge. It also ...

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes ...

A hundred times more than relativity theory -- "An act of desperation" -- The impudent Swabian -- The gypsy life -- Two pillars of wisdom -- The perfect instruments of the creator -- More heat than ...

A theoretical study suggests that gravity could have quantum effects without itself being a quantum theory. Other researchers ...

Breakthrough from Princeton team reveals exotic quantum state that coherently blends many-body correlation and quantum ...

The study of quantum gases and Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) continues to redefine our understanding of matter at ultracold temperatures. When cooled to nanokelvin regimes, quantum gases exhibit ...
