Physicists have long believed that detecting the particle of gravity—the graviton—was fundamentally impossible, with the ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, perfectly described on cosmic scales yet refusing to mesh with the quantum rules that govern everything else. A growing camp ...

Detecting a graviton — the hypothetical particle thought to carry the force of gravity — is the ultimate physics experiment. Conventional wisdom, however, says it can’t be done. According to one ...

The mystery of dark matter—unseen, pervasive, and essential in standard cosmology—has loomed over physics for decades. In new research, I explore a different possibility: Rather than postulating new ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- Since the early days of quantum mechanics, scientists have been trying to understand the many strange implications of the theory: superpositions, wave-particle duality, and the ...

Quantum physics is often described as the most successful scientific framework in history. In its 100 years of existence, it has explained everything from the periodic table of the elements to how ...

For decades, astronomers have treated dark matter as the invisible scaffolding of the cosmos, a mysterious substance that ...

Recent advances in theoretical physics have increasingly highlighted the pivotal role of algebraic structures in unifying particle physics with quantum gravity. These approaches leverage sophisticated ...

This year the Corfu2026 activities consist of eight events (one school, and seven workshops), bringing together world-class scientists and young researchers to interact and forge new collaborations.
