At a busy street crossing, people wait for the signal to change. When one person steps out first, others soon follow.

A novel approach to the search for a long theorized fifth force of nature—one that could potentially help scientists unravel lingering mysteries involving the Standard Model of particle physics—is ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

Scientists are using “trapped ions” in highly precise experiments to search for a new, fifth force of nature that could help explain elusive dark matter. The invisible dark matter is one of the ...

The Standard Model of Particle Physics accounts for four fundamental forces—strong, weak, electromagnetism, and gravity—but for decades, scientists have wondered if an elusive fifth force might be at ...

Abstract: The linear eddy current braking (LECB) system is suitable for use as an emergency braking system to ensure the safe and stable operation of high-speed maglev trains. This article analyzes ...

Researchers hypothesize a fifth force of nature that could explain the intricate relationship between dark matter and dark energy, suggesting a revolutionary expansion of the Standard Model of physics ...

In 2023, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission successfully returned a sample of dust and rocks from the near-Earth asteroid Bennu. While this sample provides critical insights into the universe, the data ...

There may be a fifth fundamental force of the universe that we haven't documented yet — and, according to new research, our best bet of uncovering it may not lie in deep space, but in objects ...

This story is part of Short Wave's series Space Camp about all the weird, wonderful things happening in the universe. Check out the rest of the series. What does it take to launch into space? Other ...

A former NASA engineer working on a propellant-less propulsion drive has claimed that the device can deliver enough thrust to achieve lift in Earth's gravity, an effect which should not take place ...
