Looks like we’re closer than ever to connecting general relativity and quantum mechanics. A new study suggests that when we ...

Physics has a problem—their key models of quantum theory and the theory of relativity do not fit together. Now, Dr. Wolfgang Wieland from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) is ...

In 1899 Max Planck became a professor at the University of Berlin, after nine years at the University of Munich and Kiel University, in Germany. In his research there, he turned to a thermodynamic ...

These were the laws of quantum mechanics, and they got their name from the work of Max Planck. "An Act of Desperation" In 1900, Max Planck was a physicist in Berlin studying something called the ...

The work of the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics focuses on investigating the quantum world with laser light. The physicists employ complex facilities comprising many optical components, such as ...

But that’s classical mechanics: surely the weirdness that is quantum mechanics requires ... all you need for instruments to determine Planck’s constant to a decent degree of precision, the ...

These are a fundamental system of units that can be constructed solely from the speed of light and the natural constants of gravity and quantum theory. Another constant, the Planck power ...

Quantum mechanics is the best tool we have to ... One of the first physicists to confront this strangeness head-on was Max Planck. In order to explain unusual observations produced when objects ...
