For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, perfectly described on cosmic scales yet refusing to mesh with the quantum rules that govern everything else. A growing camp ...

Physicists have chased a unified description of nature for more than a century, yet quantum theory and gravity have ...

Researchers at TU Wien have integrated quantum physics with general relativity, revealing significant departures from ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is ...

TU Wien researchers have uncovered a quantum twist to the paths particles take through spacetime — one that could finally ...

The final, formatted version of the article will be published soon. Since decades quantum gravity tries to close the gap to general relativity, but all attempts remain pure theory without empirical ...

Oftentimes, we think of space as an endless, mostly empty vacuum, a silent backdrop where planets, stars, and galaxies play out their dance. We also think of time as something separate, a steady ...
