Hints of a new fundamental interaction are starting to look less like statistical ghosts and more like a pattern that refuses to go away. From the strange wobble of subatomic particles to puzzling ...

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 ...

Physicists in Switzerland are turning to a new method in the search for nature’s possible fifth force—one that might explain some of the universe’s greatest mysteries. Their work centers on atomic ...
