In the midst of the current spate of anniversaries - VE Day, the end of the Vietnam War, the first Earth Day - one might have thought the death of the most famous scientist in history 50 years ago ...

A new measurement in quantum electrodynamics -- an extension of quantum mechanics -- is 10 times more precise than any recent measurements. Deviations from QED would have far-reaching consequences in ...

Physicists have developed the most sensitive method ever for measuring the potential energy of an atom (within a hundredth of a decillionth of a joule -- or 10-35 joule), and used it to validate one ...

A new measurement in quantum electrodynamics – an extension of quantum mechanics – is 10 times more precise than any recent measurements. Quantum electrodynamics, or QED, is one of the most successful ...

There are three possibilities: Either physicists have made a mistake in their calculations, protons are playing a terrible practical joke on physicists, or — a really long shot — the quantum theory ...

(Nanowerk News) Physicists at the Australian National University have developed the most sensitive method ever for measuring the potential energy of an atom (within a hundredth of a decillionth of a ...
