Gravity from Entropy theory offers a new resolution to one of physics' oldest paradoxes: how the universe builds galaxies and ...

A new study by Queen Mary University of London mathematician Professor Ginestra Bianconi proposes a new perspective on one of ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics," may be hiding in a quantum recipe to cook up black holes. That ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. When it comes to understanding the fabric of the universe, most of what scientists think exists is consigned to a dark, murky domain.

Gravity is the force with which we’re most familiar. It’s what’s keeping you on the planet, even as you’re reading this. Despite gravity feeling deeply intertwined with our daily lives, scientists are ...

The question of how gravity interacts with the quantum world has long perplexed physicists, but a non-quantum theory of space-time could present an answer ...

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 ...

Hillslopes in Arctic regions with frozen soils can host a suite of geometric patterns, from circles and stripes to polygonal ...

The best way to find buried treasure may be with a quantum gravity sensor. In these devices, free-falling atoms reveal subtle variations in Earth’s gravitational pull at different places. Those ...

Despite decades of searching, the "dark matter" thought to hold galaxies together is still nowhere to be found. Matthew Chalmers describes how some physicists think it makes more sense to change our ...

Taken from the 25th anniversary issue of Physics World, this article examines one of the five biggest unanswered questions in physics as selected by the magazine’s editors The incompatibility of ...

Even teeny objects obey the law of gravity. A gold ball just 2 millimeters wide, with a mass of about 90 milligrams, is now the smallest object to have its gravitational pull measured. Observations of ...
