Pushed down to a certain scale, the laws of physics seem to fall apart. Astrid Eichhorn, a leader in an area of study called asymptotic safety, thinks we just need to push a little further.

A new three-volume study explores how quantum physics, gravitation and cosmology may be understood within a unified ...

Physics broke down somewhere between a proton and a muon. Not dramatically, not visibly, but quietly enough to keep researchers arguing for 15 years over something that should have been simple: how ...

Dr. Randolf Pohl from the Institute for Physics at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU), have successfully conducted experiments on hydrogen atoms which allow testing of the Standard Model of ...

A 2,000-page monograph series proposes a new conceptual framework connecting quantum physics, gravitation and cosmological evolution.

L. Maisenbacher et al, Sub-part-per-trillion test of the Standard Model with atomic hydrogen, Nature, February 11, 2026, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-026-10124-3, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-026-10124-3 ...

About 13.8 billion years ago, the origin of the universe began with the Big Bang. Scientists say all space, time, matter, and ...

Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, producing a quantized sideways drift that had never been observed in photons before. The experiment, carried out on ...

Scientists have uncovered the first robust evidence of a black hole and neutron star crashing together but orbiting in an oval path rather than a perfect circle just before they merged. This discovery ...

A new momentum microscope at Forschungszentrum Jülich makes electrons and their properties in solids visible. The instrument, developed entirely in Jülich, provides unprecedentedly insights into ...

Attosecond pulses enable sub-femtosecond studies of ultrafast electron dynamics. Since 2001, pulse durations have shortened ...

An international team of researchers has demonstrated a new method for stabilizing exotic quantum states by reducing the heating that typically occurs when quantum systems are periodically driven.
