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

Scientists are exploring the possibility of a "fifth force" beyond the four known fundamental forces. This hypothetical force ...

How does the neural tube close? A new study uses physics-based modeling to reveal the actin "purse-string" mechanism and cellular coordination that prevents spina bifida.

In about one out of every 1,000 pregnancies, the neural tube, a key nervous system structure, fails to close properly. Georgia Tech physicists are now helping explain why this happens, having ...

Scientists are grappling with a cosmic mystery: why does the Universe behave differently on massive scales compared to our ...

Physicists have spent the last 20 years pondering an apparent discrepancy between experimental results and theoretical ...

By studying galaxy clusters separated by hundreds of millions of light-years, Penn physicist Patricio Gallardo and ...

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 ...

Physicists have taken a major step toward using AI not just to analyze data, but to uncover entirely new laws of nature. By ...

Measuring the strength of gravity is extraordinarily difficult, and different experiments have always disagreed – but a new ...

Earth’s gravitational force, g, has been known for centuries. But the exact value of G, the universal gravitational constant, ...

It does not resolve the discrepancy, but it gives physicists one more data point in their ongoing quest to nail down a more ...
