A new theoretical framework released today proposes that the vacuum of space is not a smooth void, but a geometrically structured medium with a finite information density. The  Selection-Stitch Model ...

Quantum mechanics has always carried a quiet tension. At its core, the theory allows particles to exist in many states at ...

Researchers have discovered a hidden quantum geometry inside materials that subtly steers electrons, echoing how gravity ...

Quantum theory has long treated time as a silent backdrop, a parameter that never jitters even as particles flicker in and ...

Unifying gravity and quantum theory remains a significant goal in modern physics. Despite the success in unifying all other fundamental interactions (electromagnetism, strong force and weak force) ...

Essentially, the quantum metric creates a “geometric” drag on the electrons. When the magnetic field is applied, it breaks ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other. Quantum theory governs particles and fields, while Einstein’s gravity describes ...

Loop quantum gravity (LQG) is a non-perturbative, background-independent approach to quantising spacetime that seeks to merge the principles of quantum mechanics and general relativity. In this ...

For close to a century, scientists have been trying to marry Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and quantum theory—our two best bets on understanding the universe on a macroscopic and ...

The mystery of dark matter—unseen, pervasive, and essential in standard cosmology—has loomed over physics for decades. In new ...
