Physicists from Stevens Institute of Technology and Yale University have launched an experimental program to detect gravitons ...

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 ...

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

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.

Image shows a laser beam in Gavin Morley’s lab probes the quantum properties of a diamond. Scientists are developing an experiment to test whether gravity is quantum In quantum mechanics, which ...

Wormholes sit at the edge of science and storytelling, promising shortcuts across the cosmos and even pathways through time.

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 ...

As such, scientists have tinkered with theories for "quantum gravity" and searched for its hypothetical carrier particle, dubbed the “graviton,” but all experiments have come up empty so far.

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 ...
