The weak nuclear force doesn't play by the normal rules — and, in fact, it breaks one of the biggest rules of all.

A new result from the Q-weak experiment at the Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility provides a precision test of the weak force, one of four fundamental forces in ...

Physical Review Letters, PRL, the world’s premier physics letter journal, has published two papers by a team of Louisiana State University nuclear physics researchers to advance the knowledge on the ...

In 2024, TU Wien presented the world's first nuclear clock. Now it has been demonstrated that the technology can also be used ...

A spinning neutron disintegrates into a proton, electron, and antineutrino when a down quark in the neutron emits a W boson and converts into an up quark. The exchange of quanta of light (γ) among ...

In this video, we explore the fundamental forces of nature and their interactions with particles, structured as follows: 0:00 ...

The Chinese particle physicist Chen-Ning Yang died on 18 October at the age of 103. Yang shared half of the 1957 Nobel Prize for Physics with Tsung-Dao Lee for their theoretical work that overturned ...

Unifying gravity and quantum theory remains a significant goal in modern physics. Despite the success in unifying all other ...

Nobel laureate Chen Ning Yang, who spent decades advancing physics in both the U.S. and China, died in Beijing on Saturday at ...

New strategies may soon allow scientists to test dark energy theories within our own solar system, linking cosmic-scale physics to local observation. Science advances through a cycle of proposing ...

Earth’s magnetic field protects the planet from space weather like cosmic radiation and charged particles from the Sun. The southern Atlantic anomaly shrinks that protective bubble, but not so much ...
