It’s a powerful technique, but small uncertainties at each step can add up, something critics argue may be behind the Hubble ...

Why does lead behave so differently from every other atomic nucleus when struck by electrons? A team of physicists at ...

Scientists working on Fermilab's Muon g-2 experiment released the world's most precise measurement yet of the magnetic moment of the muon, bringing particle physics closer to the ultimate showdown ...

In physics, the treatment of time is a central issue. In physics, the treatment of time is a central issue. It has been treated as a question of geometry. One can measure time and treat it as a ...

The flow of time isn’t as consistent as we might think – gravity slows it down, so clocks on the surface of Earth tick slower than those in space. Now researchers have measured time passing at ...

Yuri Ralchenko led one of the oldest teams at the National Institute for Standards and Technology. The fate of some ...

This morning on BBC Radio 4, the mathematician Roger Penrose, physicist Basil Hiley, and philosopher Simon Saunders had a lively discussion about the “measurement problem in physics” with broadcaster ...

Where the information goes: After a quantum measurement, information is distributed between the measured information G, transmitted information F and reversible information R. (Courtesy: Seongjin Hong ...

The image of this quasar is split into four by a massive galaxy acting as a gravitational lens. By analyzing slight delays in the light from these lensed quasars, astronomers arrived a new estimate of ...
