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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

When you hear the phrase “straight as an arrow,” you might imagine a perfectly linear trajectory. But in reality, an arrow’s flight is anything but straightforward. Enter the archer’s paradox – a ...
