The gauge bosons of the standard model of particle physics are responsible for three of the four known forces in the universe, conveyed through the exchange of virtual bosons. In electromagnetism, the ...

Trying to solve quantum gravity is frustrating. We have made tremendous progress in quantum theory, but it seems that every time we find a new quantum technique, there's a reason it doesn't quite work ...

Running upside down through a full loop creates a gravity-defying moment where speed and momentum keep the runner attached to the track. The video highlights acceleration, timing, and how maintaining ...

Laser light is injected into an optical cavity to continuously measure the position of a movable mirror. The output light is read out by homodyne detection, and the measurement data are analyzed using ...

James is a published author with multiple pop-history and science books to his name. He specializes in history, space, strange science, and anything out of the ordinary.View full profile James is a ...

Physicists have long struggled to unite quantum mechanics—the theory governing tiny particles—with Einstein’s theory of gravity, which explains the behavior of stars, planets, and the structure of the ...

With $20 M funding so far, Quantum Gravity Gradiometer Pathfinder Mission is intended to “advance U.S. space sensing”. 16 February 2026 Red indicates areas of the world that exert greater ...

Infleqtion, which designs and builds quantum computers, precision sensors, and quantum software, is collaborating with NASA to launch the world's first quantum gravity sensor into low Earth orbit.

With more than $20 million in contracted mission funding to date, the Quantum Gravity Gradiometer Pathfinder Mission, Led by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, Advances U.S.

Researchers have discovered a hidden quantum geometry inside materials that subtly steers electrons, echoing how gravity warps light in space. Once thought to exist only on paper, this effect has now ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works extremely well in its own domain: Quantum theory explains how atoms and ...

Large masses – such as a galaxy – curve space-time. Objects move along a geodesic. If we take into account that space-time itself has quantum properties, deviations arise (dashed line vs. solid line).
