Scientists are testing a novel way to measure cosmic expansion using time delays in gravitationally lensed quasars. Their ...

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, ...

Scientists working on Fermilab's Muon g-2 experiment released the world's most precise measurement yet of the magnetic moment of the muon, bringing particle physics closer to the ultimate showdown ...

The W boson is heftier than anyone expected. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. An ultraprecise measurement of the mass of a ...

Quantum physics, celebrated for its predictive success, has also become notorious for being an inscrutable mass of paradoxes. One of the founders of the theory, Niels Bohr, stated that "those who are ...

Strongly correlated. Two graphene sheets stacked on each other with a twist make a long-wavelength moiré pattern. Credit: Designed by Kai Fu for Yazdani Lab, Princeton University The energy states ...

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is an invaluable technique for analysing the structure of molecules and for imaging their spin densities in 3D. The technique works by placing the sample ...

Precise values for the masses of the nuclei of the simplest atoms, such as hydrogen and helium, are crucial for experiments targeting big unsolved problems in physics. A technique known as ...

A new measurement of a fundamental particle called the W boson appears to defy the standard model of particle physics, our current understanding of how the basic building blocks of the universe ...

Plasma physics is the study of charged particles and fluids interacting with self-consistent electric and magnetic fields. It is a basic research discipline that has many different areas of ...
