Sebastian Mizera just joined the physics department as an assistant professor, researching quantum field theory.

A radical new theory begins with a central claim: consciousness is the fundamental field of reality; time, space, and matter ...

In the 18th century, the scientific world was drunk on Newtonian certainty. The universe was a clockwork mechanism, ...

In the end, the Universe becomes a place where gravity and quantum physics slowly turn all mass into faint streams of particles.

Quanta Books is delighted to announce two new upcoming books by mathematician Terence Tao and theoretical physicist David ...

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 physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

Generalized functions, often formulated as distributions, have become indispensable in the rigorous mathematical formulation of quantum field theory (QFT). These constructs extend the classical notion ...

Physicists have finally secured direct evidence that quantum spin ice, a long-hypothesized and highly unusual state of matter ...

For close to a century, scientists have been trying to marry Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and quantum ...

The speed of light has been one of science’s most trusted markers of stability. For more than a century, the idea that light moves through space at a constant speed has supported some of physics’ most ...
