An old puzzle in particle physics has been solved: How can quantum field theories be best formulated on a lattice to ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.

Quantum gravity and field theory represent a frontier where the principles of quantum mechanics are reconciled with Einstein’s description of gravity. Researchers are seeking a consistent framework ...

A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A new way of explaining gravity could bring us a step closer to resolving the heretofore irresolvable differences it has with ...

The gravity quantum field is calculated in flat spacetime. The curved classical metric is calculated using the expectation value of the gravity quantum field. At long last, a unified theory combining ...

Quantum field theory (QFT) provides a comprehensive framework for describing the fundamental interactions of matter and radiation. In the context of atom‐field interactions, QFT elucidates how atoms ...

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

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.

There’s an adage coined by [Ian Betteridge] that any headline ending in a question mark can be answered by the word “No”.
