This interaction could help explain both why quantum processes can occur within environments like the brain and why we lose consciousness under anesthesia.

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

Try as they might, scientists can’t truly rid a space or an object of its energy. But what “zero-point energy” really means ...

Einstein’s claim that the speed of light is constant has survived more than a century of scrutiny—but scientists are still ...

Quantum information theory is a field of study that examines how quantum technologies store and process information. Over the ...

The force we experience most intimately remains the most mysterious. Physicists understand how vast migrations of particles called photons light up our homes, and how swarms of “gluon” particles hold ...

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

In this video, we explore the relationship between string theory and quantum field theory (QFT). QFT is a mathematical ...

Does anyone understand quantum theory? The legendary Richard Feynman suggested that if you think you do, you haven’t understood it at all. But quantum theory is our best description of the microscopic ...
