A 2,000-page monograph series proposes a new conceptual framework connecting quantum physics, gravitation and cosmological evolution.

A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

A new three-volume study explores how quantum physics, gravitation and cosmology may be understood within a unified ...

In July 1925, physicist Werner Heisenberg wrote a letter to Wolfgang Pauli sharing his new ideas about what would eventually become known as quantum theory. A hundred years later, that theory has been ...

The International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ) aims to expand public understanding of quantum technologies, including their transformative potential. For our broad readership, could ...

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to ...

The ball rolls across the floor because it was kicked, just as Earth orbits the sun because it is tugged by gravity. The connection between cause and effect is fundamental to how we understand the ...

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 ...

For centuries, the concept of consciousness has intrigued philosophers and scientists alike. Often deemed too abstract for scientific exploration, consciousness has been largely left to philosophical ...

Shaped by a different biology or culture, other intelligent civilisations – if they’re out there – might understand the ...
