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

A new study links the universe’s expansion to quantum topology, suggesting that hidden mathematical structures may stabilize ...

A machine-learning AI can solve physics problems by simplifying them to be more symmetric. “There are many, many cases in the history of science where people thought things were more complicated than ...

The following is an extract from our Lost in Space-Time newsletter. Each month, we hand over the keyboard to a physicist or two to tell you about fascinating ideas from their corner of the universe.

Effective problem-solving in physics often follows a clear procedure: identify relevant principles, create accurate diagrams, list knowns and unknowns, and determine the system of interest. This ...
