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 ...

Scientists have determined a way to measure gravity on microscopic levels, perhaps bringing them closer to forming a theory of "quantum gravity" and to solving some major cosmic mysteries. Quantum ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

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 ...

Researchers at Stevens Institute of Technology and Yale University are initiating a first-of-its-kind experiment designed to detect gravitons, the hypothesized quantum building blocks of gravity.

A physicist has proposed a bold experiment that could allow gravitational waves to be manipulated using laser light. By ...

Physicists have long treated space and time as the stage on which quantum particles perform, not as actors in the drama ...

Artistic representation of the implemented photonic experiment in which entanglement between the polarizations of single photons is mediated by the independent degree of freedom of the photon path.

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 ...

Detecting a graviton — the hypothetical particle thought to carry the force of gravity — is the ultimate physics experiment. Conventional wisdom, however, says it can’t be done. According to one ...

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 ...
