Physicists in Germany have carried out the most accurate measurement to date of the width of the proton. By examining a previously unexplored energy-level transition in the hydrogen atom, Lothar ...

During the mid- to late-twentieth century, quantum physicists picked apart the unified theory of physics that Einstein’s theory of relativity offered. The physics of the large was governed by gravity, ...

Two independent lines of evidence from the world’s most powerful particle experiments are converging on the same ...

Something genuinely strange has just happened in fundamental physics: an underground neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean ...

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.

We know how to derive most fundamental constants from conditions of the universe, models This is an accurate description of physics as a whole, but wildly untrue in particle physics. There are 25 ...

A study in Nature Physics has realized a dual-species Rydberg array combining rubidium (Rb) and cesium (Cs) atoms to enhance quantum computing and its applications. Neutral atoms are used for analog ...

Physicists in Europe have resolved a long-standing puzzle regarding the energy released when an isotope of the rare-earth element holmium decays via electron capture. They say that their extremely ...
