Einstein called it “spooky action at a distance,” but today quantum entanglement is poised to revolutionize technology from computers to cryptography. Physicists have gradually become convinced that ...

The story of quantum entanglement, perhaps the strangest concept in science. Mind-bending concepts and brilliant experiments lead us to a profound new understanding of reality.

There’s nothing like a good riddle to stimulate your mind and give you an excuse to channel your inner Sherlock Holmes. Regularly doing logic and crossword puzzles can even keep your brain young as ...

A groundbreaking experiment demonstrates yet again that light exists both as a wave and a particle in the quantum world—but we can’t see both at the same time. reading time 3 minutes Albert Einstein ...

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes ...

The reconciliation of general relativity and quantum mechanics is one of the biggest challenges in science, one that continues to elude us. Now, a new study by Anjun Chu and colleagues has examined ...

The nature of quantum entanglement remains an outstanding problem in physics. But Albert Einstein's theories, along with insights from quantum computing, could finally put the mystery to rest. When ...

Theoretical physicists have proposed a potential solution to one of the most puzzling problems in modern physics: the black hole singularity paradox. By modifying Einstein's theory of general ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. An abstract illustration of quantum particles entangling. New research aims to unite gravity with ...

If gravity arises from entropy, scientists could unite Einstein's general relativity with the quantum realm while shedding light on dark matter and dark energy. A new recipe for gravity could help ...
