A new study suggests subatomic particles called muons are breaking the laws of physics. This may mean a mysterious force is affecting muons, which would make our understanding of physics incomplete.

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 ...

Discover the physics behind stamps sticking to envelopes, from fundamental forces to Van der Waals interactions, explained concisely.

A new method using gold flakes, salt water, and light reveals the tiny forces that bind matter and drive self-assembly, ...

What if the next new theory of the universe didn’t come from a human mind, but from an artificial one? In a development that has left the scientific community both awestruck and unsettled, artificial ...
