Physicists have taken a major step toward using AI not just to analyze data, but to uncover entirely new laws of nature. By ...

A new measurement by a student and professor at the University of Rochester has shed new light on the limits of scientists' standard model of physics. Doctoral student Ben Kilminster and Kevin ...

The muon mismatch was caused by calculation limits, not a new force. Improved methods bring theory and experiment into close ...

Tiny grains of dust floating inside a glowing plasma should, according to decades of theory, push and pull on each other in ...

A decade-long effort to measure one of physics’ most fundamental constants culminates in a moment of uncertainty and ...

A tiny discrepancy in particle physics has loomed for decades as an exciting possible crack in one of science’s most ...

You're sitting in physics class, working on a traditional problem involving forces and acceleration, when you start to wonder where these terms even came from. Were they just dreamed up to bring ...

Scientists from collaborations at Fermilab, CERN and Brookhaven National Laboratory have won the 2026 Breakthrough Prize in ...

After a 10-year effort, physicists got a value for “Big G” that does not settle the debate over one of nature’s hardest numbers to nail down.

The force needed to slide sheets of graphene across each other has been measured using a new technique that involves blowing air bubbles made of the material. Developed by Zhong Zhang of the National ...
