While the Standard Model (SM) describes all known fundamental particles and many of the interactions between them, it fails ...

New research claims it may provide evidence of a "fifth force of nature" that could eventually rewrite everything we know.

For decades, scientists have suspected that a fifth fundamental force might exist. Unlike the four already identified ...

Van der Waals forces represent a fundamental type of interaction between molecules. Named after the Dutch physicist Johannes Diderik van der Waals, these intermolecular forces include attractions and ...

Quantum fields represent particles and their interactions. For example, the electromagnetic force holds charged particles ... That’s where a new type of quantum computer steps in.

"“He defined a new type of force, the so-called weak interaction, that was responsible for decay, and whose fundamental process was transforming a neutron into a proton, an electron and a ...

Electromagnetism and the weak nuclear force, for example, were once the same force—the electroweak interaction. However, there is one place in the universe (that we know of) where this ...
