Underground physics experiment challenges gravity theory of quantum state collapse
ScienceDaily reports that an underground test found no evidence for a longstanding theory linking gravity to quantum collapse.
The short version
- An underground test detected no radiation signature predicted by a longstanding model linking gravity to quantum collapse.[ScienceDaily]
- Scientists collected data across 62 days using a well-shielded germanium detector.[ScienceDaily]
- The research findings were published in the New Journal of Physics in June 2026.[ScienceDaily]
Key facts
- A deep-underground experiment found no evidence that gravity erases quantum behavior as previously theorized.[ScienceDaily]
- Investigators recorded no predicted signal during 62 days of measurements with a shielded germanium detector.[ScienceDaily]
- The study was released in the New Journal of Physics in June 2026.[ScienceDaily]
