Detecting dark matter—the mysterious substance that holds galaxies together—is one of the greatest unsolved problems in ...

Though the principle is not violated, a new way of fudging its restrictions could lead to improvements in ultra-precise ...

EPFL researchers have developed a method to calibrate electron spectrometers with extreme accuracy by linking microwave, ...

Precision measurements in atomic and ion physics have become a cornerstone for testing the limits of our understanding of quantum electrodynamics (QED) and the Standard Model. By harnessing ...

In the very early, very hot moments of the universe, the electromagnetic and weak nuclear forces were actually the same force—the electroweak interaction. Scientists can now study this interaction ...

The weak charge of the proton has been measure to high-precision for the first time. The work was done at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) in Virginia and the result ...

The first-known observations of matter–antimatter asymmetry in a decaying composite subatomic particle that belongs to the baryon class are reported from the LHCb experiment located at the Large ...

Over the last four decades, radiotherapy has seen a technological revolution – evolving from broad, relatively simple deliveries to highly targeted, patient-specific treatment. Few individuals have ...

A new result from the Q-weak experiment provides a precision test of the weak force, one of four fundamental forces in nature. The proton's weak charge was found to be QWp=0.0719±0.0045, in excellent ...
