#yalewrightlab 's David Moore is investigating this question of whether gravity has a quantum nature, along with his collaborators, in the MAST-QG experiment. To do this, the Moore group studies electromagnetic interactions between nanodiamonds.
There is one fundamental phenomenon that quantum physics can't explain: gravity.
