University of Chicago physicist Clay Córdova has been named a recipient of the 2026 New Horizons in Physics Prize for his ...

Quantum gravity and cosmology represent a frontier in theoretical physics where the principles of quantum mechanics are integrated with the framework of general relativity. This synthesis is crucial ...

Researchers have developed a new quantum theory of gravity which describes gravity in a way that's compatible with the Standard Model of particle physics, opening the door to an improved understanding ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. If you wanted to answer the question of what's truly fundamental in ...

The force we experience most intimately remains the most mysterious. Physicists understand how vast migrations of particles called photons light up our homes, and how swarms of “gluon” particles hold ...

At long last, a unified theory combining gravity with the other fundamental forces—electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces—is within reach. Bringing gravity into the fold has been the ...
