Significant advances in exploring QG-motivated phenomenology 3 have been achieved in the past decade. In some cases, it was possible to establish bounds on QG effects at the Planck scale. Among the ...

Quantum gravity theory is untested experimentally. Could it be tested with tabletop experiments? While the common feeling is pessimistic, a detailed inquiry shows it possible to sidestep the onerous ...

ON A human scale, an atom is inconceivably small. But size is relative. On the Planck scale—the smallest that physical theory recognises—atoms are huge. At this scale, named after Max Planck, the ...

Fermilab scientists have been conducting experiments to look for quantum fluctuations of space and time at the smallest scale imaginable according to known physics. At this limit, the Planck length, ...

In a study published in Nature Astronomy, a team of researchers from the University of Naples "Federico II," the University of Wroclaw, and the University of Bergen examined a quantum-gravity model of ...

The economy has been sputtering for years; it sure could use a boost. Planck-scale physics is the coming thing in basic science. How big a boost could the economy get from Planck-scale physics? A new ...
