A new study evaluates gravity using string theory, a promising candidate for describing particle interactions at their most fundamental level.
How does classical physics arise from quantum mechanics?
Emergence of classicality states that a quantum description of a large object must be the same as its classical description, but this isn’t always so…
Searching for dark matter in our solar system
Sending atomic and nuclear clocks into the inner reaches of our solar system could help scientists find proof of elusive dark matter.
