A recent breakthrough led by Igor Pikovski, a physics professor at Stevens Institute of Technology, may soon allow scientists to detect single gravitons, the quantum building blocks of gravity. Long considered impossible, Pikovski’s team believes that with advancements in quantum technology, detecting these elusive particles is now within reach. “This is a foundational experiment that was long thought impossible, but we think we’ve found a way to do it,” says Pikovski, who is also affiliated with Stockholm University. Working alongside Pikovski were Germain Tobar, Thomas Beitel, and postdoctor…
