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 ...

All of us began as a single cell, the fertilized egg. This cell gave rise to a group of "stem cells" that can transform into any cell type in our body to create our complex tissues consisting of ...

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 ...

A new experiment with momentum-entangled helium atoms could help unite quantum mechanics and general relativity.

For the first time, a team of physicists in Austria has carried out an experiment that appears to verify the principle of ...

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 ...

NEWPORT NEWS, VA – Nuclear physicists have long been working to reveal how the proton gets its spin. Now, a new method that combines experimental data with state-of-the-art calculations has revealed a ...
