Sometimes, the simplest explanation is the best one," Professor Gupta said. "Maybe the universe’s biggest secrets are just ...

A novel approach to the search for a long theorized fifth force of nature—one that could potentially help scientists unravel lingering mysteries involving the Standard Model of particle physics—is ...

The Standard Model of Particle Physics accounts for four fundamental forces—strong, weak, electromagnetism, and gravity—but for decades, scientists have wondered if an elusive fifth force might be at ...

Abstract: The linear eddy current braking (LECB) system is suitable for use as an emergency braking system to ensure the safe and stable operation of high-speed maglev trains. This article analyzes ...

A team of leading physicists has made a breakthrough in understanding how the shape of atomic nuclei affects the behavior of atoms. Researchers from Germany’s Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt ...

In 2023, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission successfully returned a sample of dust and rocks from the near-Earth asteroid Bennu. While this sample provides critical insights into the universe, the data ...

There may be a fifth fundamental force of the universe that we haven’t documented yet — and, according to new research, our best bet of uncovering it may not lie in deep space, but in objects ...
