A team affiliated with IPhT (CEA/CNRS) in France and the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona argues that, within a standard effective-field-theory setup, the existence of a massive spin-3/2 particle ...

The graviton – a hypothetical particle that carries the force of gravity – has eluded detection for over a century. But now physicists have designed an experimental setup that could in theory detect ...

Funded by the Air Force, Brian Gilchrist and his colleagues are developing a new type of thruster that uses nanoparticles as propellant. Much of the engine is etched directly onto a wafer-thin piece ...

Physics is this close to understanding the entire universe. And what lives in this gap? Many physicists think it’s the elusive graviton—the quantum particle of gravity—whose discovery will finally ...

Scientists announced that they have discovered the existence of a particle of nature. There is a wealth of speculations springing from this new finding – could it be, for instance, that this new ...

The Universe we perceive and view, all around us, isn't representative of what actually exists at a fundamental level. Instead of continuous, solid objects, matter is composed of indivisible quantum ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. Back in February of 2016, LIGO made an announcement that changed our ...
