Scientists are using “trapped ions” in highly precise experiments to search for a new, fifth force of nature that could help explain elusive dark matter. The invisible dark matter is one of the ...

In a groundbreaking study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists from ETH Zurich, in collaboration with teams from Germany and Australia, have made strides in the search for a potential ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich (Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich), along with teams from Germany and Australia, have made some incredibly precise measurements using calcium atoms—and the results ...

Dark matter may be invisible, but scientists are getting closer to understanding whether it follows the same rules as everything we can see. By comparing how galaxies move through cosmic gravity wells ...

Could a new, fifth force of nature provide some answers to our biggest questions about dark matter and dark energy? We’re working on it. The Standard Model is, for all intents and purposes, the ...

Some physicists believe that a fifth fundamental force could be the cause of some observational anomalies. A study is investigating ways to closely examine the trajectories of well-documented ...
