For over a century, quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity have stood as the cornerstones of modern physics, yet their unification remains one of science’s greatest challenges. Now, ...

Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate change, space rockets, mathematical puzzles, dinosaur bones, black holes, supernovas, and sometimes, the drama of philosophical ...

Scientists in Wales have built the world’s most sensitive table-top interferometer, which is a miniature, ultra-precise ...

Planets that orbit white dwarf stars should be too hot to host alien life, theories suggest. But a new study accounting for ...

A unified Theory Of Everything is the holy grail of physics, but gravity refuses to play ball. A newly proposed theory attempts to unify Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics – and ...

Gravitational waves are energy-carrying waves produced by the acceleration or disturbance of massive objects. These waves, ...

What if the universe remembers? A bold new framework proposes that spacetime acts as a quantum memory. For over a hundred ...
