The muon mismatch was caused by calculation limits, not a new force. Improved methods bring theory and experiment into close ...

A tiny discrepancy in particle physics has loomed for decades as an exciting possible crack in one of science’s most ...

A major obstacle in calculating the muon’s behavior is the strong force, the most powerful of the four fundamental forces, along with gravity, electromagnetism, and the weak force. It binds quarks ...

E = mc 2 is probably the most recognized physics equation among the general public, beating out Newton's Second Law of motion, F = ma. Despite that recognition by the outside world, E = mc 2 is hardly ...

What is the Stokes-Einstein Equation? The Stokes-Einstein equation is a fundamental relation in physics that describes the diffusion of spherical particles through a fluid with low Reynolds number. It ...

Two leading scientists discuss the future of their field. Credit...Ariel Davis Supported by By Dennis Overbye The future belongs to those who prepare for it, as scientists who petition federal ...

Physicists have long sought to describe the universe in terms of equations. Now, S James Gates explains how research on a class of geometric symbols known as adinkras could lead to fresh insights into ...

When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it ...
