Olival Freire Jr is a professor of physics and the history of physics at the Federal University of Bahia, Brazil. What makes matter stable? Why are atoms as they are? Why do different materials vary ...

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

A team of physicists have proposed a new idea for uniting quantum mechanics and gravity, which they believe could explain the ...

For more than a century, physics has been built on two great theories. Einstein's general relativity explains gravity as the bending of space and time. Quantum mechanics governs the world of particles ...
