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, ...

Researchers at the University of Basel and the Laboratoire Kastler Brossel have demonstrated how quantum mechanical ...

Twenty faculty members from universities and colleges around the country spent last week at RIT learning how to use digital video as a measurement tool for teaching science. The workshop is the second ...

Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever tabletop experiment, researchers at Leiden University in the ...

The latest results have moved scientists closer to disproving the standard model of particle physics, though uncertainty still remains. A new study has bolstered the idea that an unknown fifth force ...

A subatomic particle called the W boson may be heavier than expected, a surprising finding that might lead to a shake-up of physics' grand model of how the world works on the microscale. When you ...

A study on the new measurement titled "High-precision measurement of the W boson mass with the CDF II detector" has been published in the journal Science. The W boson is an elementary particle, a ...

Mutual attraction: why is it so difficult to pin down the gravitational constant? (Courtesy: iStock/FrankRamspott) Two extremely precise measurements of the gravitational constant G have yielded ...
