The same pulling force that causes “tears” in a glass of wine also shapes embryos. It’s another example of how genes exploit ...

Virtual particles may not be real, but they help physicists track how forces move, and allow for incredibly precise measurements in particle physics.

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

He and a colleague created a sensation in 1956 by proposing that one of the four forces of nature might violate a law of ...
