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 ...

Quantum physics is often described as the most successful scientific framework in history. In its 100 years of existence, it has explained everything from the periodic table of the elements to how ...

A new experiment will test the notion that gravity, one of the fundamental forces in the physical world, relies upon quantum physics to work. If so, it would further indicate the centrality of quantum ...

Is gravity a quantum phenomenon? That has been one of the big outstanding questions in physics for decades. Together with colleagues from the UK, Anupam Mazumdar, a physicist from the University of ...

The nature of gravity — and whether it can be reconciled with quantum mechanics — is one of the biggest mysteries in physics. Most researchers think that at a fundamental level, all phenomena follow ...

A new discovery suggests gravitational fields can enable matter to become quantum entangled — and that's even if the concept of quantum gravity does not exist. The idea comes from two London-based ...

On the rise. Signs of convection are seen in the motion of hot gas under the influence of a gravity-like acoustic force in a spherical glass container. The images were recorded 15, 40, and 140 ...

Long before Galileo and Newton used superior mathematics to study a fundamental natural force, Leonardo calculated the gravitational constant with surprising accuracy. A mysterious triangle on Page ...
