For the first time, scientists have observed Einstein’s gravity acting on an object in a quantum state.
By placing rubidium atoms in different paths, the experiment tested the equivalence principle at the quantum scale. The result offers a remarkable new connection between quantum mechanics and general relativity—and opens the door to even more extreme tests.

Scientists have taken a major step toward quantum computing in space by testing a photonic quantum processor in low Earth orbit. The experiment faced an unexpected challenge early on, but the technology continued operating and revealed how quantum systems can perform far beyond the laboratory. Could space become the next frontier for quantum computing?
Scientists have spent seven years searching for an unusual form of dark matter deep underground.
Scientists have confirmed quasiparticles carrying just one-quarter of an electron’s charge in a remarkable quantum state.
Researchers have developed a quantum random-access memory system that connects one processor to seven storage cells.
Scientists are using the Large Hadron Collider and machine learning to search for microscopic black holes and other exotic particles. Although none were detected, the results narrow the possibilities for hidden dimensions and new physics beyond our current understanding.
