Conversion of Units: Unit conversion is a multi-step process that involves identifying the starting and desired units, finding the appropriate conversion factors, and strategically using ...

Despite its many successes, physicists are still struggling to nail down a coherent interpretation of quantum mechanics, as it best represents “reality”. Jim Baggott explores the arguments first put ...

The Muon g-2 Collaboration has doubled the precision of their 2021 measurement of the muon’s magnetic moment and it disagrees with the predictions based on the standard model of physics. Muons are ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. In the last few weeks I've been working on a slightly more formal ...

When hundreds of physicists gathered on a Zoom call in late February to discuss their experiment’s results, none of them knew what they had found. Like doctors in a clinical trial, the researchers at ...

On April 7, particle physicists all over the world were excited and energized by the announcement of a measurement of the behavior of muons—the heavier, unstable subatomic cousins of electrons—that ...

Any exam preparation is a rigorous process which requires an overall understanding of the concepts and basics discussed in a chapter. If we talk about the Class 11 Physics, then one thing to be ...

A subatomic particle called the W boson may be heavier than expected, a surprising finding that might lead to a shake-up of physics' grand model of how the world works on the microscale. When you ...

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 ...

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 ...
