A cloud of helium atoms split, scattered and fell under gravity, yet still behaved as if its parts were linked. That is the ...

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

General relativity stands as one of the bedrock theories in modern physics. Its strange view of relative time and space has been confirmed by countless experimental and observational tests, from ...

Physicists have long suspected that gravity might have a hidden quantum side, but for decades the idea has been more mathematics than measurement. A new proposal for a tabletop experiment now suggests ...

A team of physicists has proposed a specific modification to Einstein’s general relativity that could eliminate the Big Bang ...

The image depicts an experiment in which heavy particles(illustrated as the moon), cause an interference pattern (a quantum effect), while also bendingspacetime. The ...

Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever tabletop experiment, researchers at Leiden University in the ...

EL SALTO, Mexico — Thirty minutes before totality, a large cloud dared to park in front of the sun. The sunlight split against the puffs to create a beautiful rainbow, but it was a nuisance for the ...
