The Universe hides many mysteries, and dark matter represents one of the greatest enigmas that scientists are trying to ...

As far as we know, at the most basic level, the universe is made up of fundamental particles and controlled by four fundamental forces. The Standard Model explains these fundamental particles and ...

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 ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. I'm teaching introductory Newtonian mechanics again this term, and as ...

There may be a fifth fundamental force of the universe that we haven’t documented yet — and, according to new research, our best bet of uncovering it may not lie in deep space, but in objects ...

The trip took place in July 2024 and took 6 days. Over that time, the flying observatory looked at two main sources: the Crab ...

Steven Weinberg always knew he wanted to be a theoretical physicist,asking big questions about the universe and seeking out answers. It started in high school, when he received a hand-me-down ...

A team of physicists just snared $3 million for testing the law of gravity like never before. Eric Adelberger, Jens Gundlach and Blayne Heckel won the 2021 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics ...

Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The church publishes the ...
