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.

Another theory held that the forces between two particles falls off exponentially in direct relationship to the distance between two particles and that the factor by which it drops is not dependent on ...

A chameleon-like force that shifts its nature based on its environment could explain a major physics quandary: how the mysterious substance called dark energy is compelling the cosmos to expand faster ...

In recent years, a group of Hungarian researchers have made headlines with a bold claim. They say they’ve discovered a new particle — dubbed X17 — that requires the existence of a fifth force of ...

Scientists are testing our fundamental understanding of the universe, and there's much more to discover. What do touch screens, radiation therapy and shrink wrap have in common? They were all made ...

There are certain physical phenomena we take for granted, like gravity tugging us to down to the Earth, or the refraction of light coloring the sky blue. INVERSE IS COUNTING DOWN THE 20 STORIES THAT ...

Physics, especially the part about forces and motion, often feels like a maze of confusing concepts and formulas. If you’ve ever stared at a problem about an object moving or a force acting and ...

Neutrino physics remains a pivotal area in the quest to unravel fundamental aspects of particle behaviour and the evolution of the universe. Neutrinos—elusive, nearly massless particles—are known to ...

Preliminary results from two experiments suggest something could be wrong with the basic way physicists think the universe works — a prospect that has the field of particle physics both baffled and ...
