New unified theory may finally link 2 core pillars of quantum physics
For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.
By bringing the long-standing and opposing views of quantum mechanics together to form a single cohesive theory, a research ...

Scientists may be approaching a 'fundamental breakthrough in cosmology and particle physics', if dark matter and 'ghost particles' can interact
Astronomers found evidence that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, hinting at a "fundamental breakthrough" that ...
An obscure theory of elementary particles proved to be key to China’s re-emergence as a scientific nation after the Cultural ...
After years of careful investigation, researchers working on the Micro Booster Neutrino Experiment (MicroBooNE) have determined that a ...
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.
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.
The hypothetical faster-than-light particle known as the tachyon may marry with the special theory of relativity, according to a team of physicists, making its existence more plausible. Tachyons are a ...
