Understanding the universe's building blocks, the Standard Model categorizes particles and explains forces, yet leaves ...

What is quantum physics? Put simply, it’s the physics that explains how everything works: the best description we have of the nature of the particles that make up matter and the forces with which they ...

An analysis of the jumps of a hydrogen atom’s electron has yielded a new, precise value for the Rydberg constant, a fundamental quantity in physics 1. The Rydberg constant is related to hydrogen ...

Although particle physics seeks to describe the most fundamental aspects of the universe, the fundamentals of physics themselves are always subject to change in response to new information.

At long last, a unified theory combining gravity with the other fundamental forces—electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces—is within reach. Bringing gravity into the fold has ...

Fundamental forces in nature are described by complex theoretical models. However, understanding them is challenging due to the complexity of simulating these models, which is beyond the ...

Although particle physics seeks to describe the most fundamental aspects of the universe, the fundamentals of physics themselves are always subject to change in response to new information.

If there's a fifth force of physics to round out the Standard Model, asteroids may be our best bet of discovering its underlying particle.

These advancements could revolutionize our understanding of fundamental forces, adding a new chapter to the complex story of particle physics and possibly unraveling the mysteries behind dark matter.

So, while the ongoing exploration of the fifth force continues in accelerator labs around the world, some scientists are turning toward space to answer the deepest mysteries of physics.
