A new measurement of the strong nuclear force, which binds protons and neutrons together, confirms previous hints of an uncomfortable truth: We still don’t have a solid theoretical grasp of even the ...

Addressing a controversy first raised around 1910, two physicists have performed experiments with the aid of an engineer that validate anew the special theory of relativity’s limitations on the speed ...

After years of confusion, a new study confirms the proton is tinier than once thought. That enables a test of the standard model of particle physics.

A deceptively simple experiment that involves making precise measurements of the time it takes for a particle to go from point A to point B could cause a breakthrough in quantum physics. The findings ...

This breathtaking clue about the architecture of consciousness supports a Nobel-Prize winner’s theory about how quantum physics works in your brain.

Sam Baron receives funding from the Australian Research Council. The Matter of Everything tells the history of physics through experiments. Any book about the history of science for a general audience ...

Physicists now have a brand-new measurement of a property of the muon called the anomalous magnetic moment that improves the precision of their previous result by a factor of 2. An international ...

If true, the idea would blow past one of physics’ most sacred limits: that parallel versions of reality can never talk to ...

FOR an experiment designed to help us find evidence of other universes, it looks surprisingly modest. As Zoran Hadzibabic walks me into the lab, it feels more like a classroom, complete with linoleum ...
