New experimental findings challenge theory of electromagnetism

A cornerstone of physics may require a rethink if the results from a series of new ion trap (pictured) experiments at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are confirmed. The results, reported in Physical Review Letters, indicate that predictions based on the fundamental theory of electromagnetism may not accurately account for the behavior […]

Rosetta anomaly stumps scientists

When the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Rosetta spacecraft swings by Earth tomorrow for a critical gravity assist, orbital data will be collected that could help unravel a cosmic mystery that has stumped scientists for two decades. Since 1990, scientists have noticed that their spacecraft sometimes experience a strange variation in the amount of orbital energy […]
