In quantum mechanics, charged particles like electrons can be sensitive to the effects of electromagnetic fields, even when placed in a region where both the electric and the magnetic fields are zero.

Gravitational wave astronomy is starting to do more than confirm Einstein’s equations. It is turning into a precision tool ...

Physicists are no longer content to simply listen to ripples in spacetime. A new proposal sketches out how an exquisitely ...

If you want to explain what was and what is, you need particle physics. Because everything we see consists of molecules and atoms, and atoms in turn consist of atomic nuclei and electrons. The atomic ...

If you’re superstitious, a black cat in your path is bad luck, even if you keep your distance. Likewise, in quantum physics, particles can feel the influence of magnetic fields that they never come ...

A recent study published in Nuclear Physics B examines how hidden dimensions might influence the physical reality that we ...

Recent advances in theoretical physics have increasingly highlighted the pivotal role of algebraic structures in unifying particle physics with quantum gravity. These approaches leverage sophisticated ...

Is General Relativity the correct theory of gravitation? Can gravity be used to detect new fundamental fields? A recent Letter appearing today in Nature Astronomy, authored by a researcher of the GSSI ...

The best way to find buried treasure may be with a quantum gravity sensor. In these devices, free-falling atoms reveal subtle variations in Earth’s gravitational pull at different places. Those ...
