A team affiliated with IPhT (CEA/CNRS) in France and the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona argues that, within a standard ...

Researchers at IPhT (CEA, CNRS) and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona have shown that gravity—and with it, ...

In a twist on conventional wisdom, researchers have discovered that in ocean-like fluids with changing density, tiny porous particles can sink faster than larger ones, thanks to how they absorb salt.

Physicists have achieved a long-sought goal in demonstrating quantum entanglement using the momentum of atoms, rather than ...

A new study reports on a deep new probe into the interface between the theories of gravity and quantum mechanics, using ultra-high energy neutrino particles detected by a particle detector set deep ...

A new experiment with momentum-entangled helium atoms could help unite quantum mechanics and general relativity.

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 ...

We all know gravity as the invisible force that keeps us grounded. But what if it's not a force at all? What if it's a function? One physicist believes gravity might actually be one of the strongest ...

Time has an arrow: It only ever seems to move in one direction. The future is always unknown to us, while the past forever remains locked and inaccessible. And yet, the vast majority of the laws of ...

Quantum physics is often described as the most successful scientific framework in history. In its 100 years of existence, it has explained everything from the periodic table of the elements to how ...

A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the universe would fall apart if it all remained unchanged. This theory tries to ...
