For decades, physicists have faced one of science’s greatest puzzles: merging quantum mechanics, which describes tiny particles, with general relativity, which explains the universe’s vast structures.

A new way of explaining gravity could bring us a step closer to resolving the heretofore irresolvable differences it has with quantum mechanics. Physicists Mikko Partanen and Jukka Tulkki at Aalto ...

Physics is tough. Want to spot a ripple in space-time? You just need a detector capable of seeing a length change less than one-millionth the size of an atom. Want to find a Higgs boson? No problem – ...
