Researchers used Google’s quantum processor to simulate fundamental physics, offering a new way to study the universe’s basic forces and particles. The fundamental forces that shape our universe are ...

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 ...

Current theories, including extensions of the Standard Model, propose that this unseen matter might interact with normal matter via a fifth fundamental force, potentially mediated by a new particle.
