As far as we know, at the most basic level, the universe is made up of fundamental particles and controlled by four fundamental forces. The Standard Model explains these fundamental particles and ...

In a groundbreaking study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists from ETH Zurich, in collaboration with teams from Germany and Australia, have made strides in the search for a potential ...

Researchers from TUM, working at CERN, have made a groundbreaking discovery that reveals how deuterons are formed. Another long-standing question in particle physics has been answered. Scientists ...

There are four fundamental forces in the Universe. These forces govern all the ways matter can interact, from the sound of an infant’s laugh to the clustering of galaxies a billion light-years away.

Scientists sometimes make bold claims about where their research might lead, but the most weighty assertions are usually scaled back or forgotten entirely as new data becomes available. Several years ...

A test to measure a leading candidate for dark energy, a fifth fundamental force called the chameleon force, has found no evidence that it is real. The researchers behind the test say this rules out ...

(via PBS Space Time) There are four fundamental forces - the strong and weak nuclear forces, electromagnetism, and gravity. Except maybe gravity is no more fundamental than the force of a stretched ...

Some physicists believe that a fifth fundamental force could be the cause of some observational anomalies. A study is investigating ways to closely examine the trajectories of well-documented ...
