Quantum theory and general relativity have long described the universe with incompatible languages, one speaking in ...

In this Python astrophysics tutorial, I walk you through calculating the gravitational field produced by a ring of mass. Using numerical methods and Python libraries, we explore how to compute ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is ...

In quantum mechanics, charged particles like electrons can be sensitive to the effects of electromagnetic fields, even when placed in a region where both the electric and the magnetic fields are zero.

If you’re superstitious, a black cat in your path is bad luck, even if you keep your distance. Likewise, in quantum physics, particles can feel the influence of magnetic fields that they never come ...

Gravity is a ubiquitous part of our daily lives — whether we’re being tragically brought to our knees after tripping on the rug or gleefully jumping from a swing’s apex. But despite how common the ...

The study of relativistic effects in gravitational fields remains at the forefront of physics research, refining our comprehension of space‐time and its intricate interplay with matter. Notably, ...

Ultra-accurate simulations of the gravity field guide toward a new mathematical foundation of gravity modelling. A layered Earth. (Courtesy: iStock/AlexLMX) The Earth is not a perfect sphere. This ...

You see this all the time in textbooks: This is often described as "the acceleration due to gravity". Is this really the best thing to call this? No. A better name would be "the local gravitational ...

TU Wien researchers have uncovered a quantum twist to the paths particles take through spacetime — one that could finally ...
