A group in Boulder, Colorado, has set a new record for precision in the measurement of an atomic transition that does not conserve parity. The experiment not only places constraints on the Standard Model of electroweak interactions but also provides evidence for the long‐predicted nuclear anapole moment.

When we see a lot of mass crammed into a small enough space, general relativity tells us it has to be a black hole. But until now, we've never had direct evidence of an event horizon.

An explosion of data from the Hubble Space Telescope and large ground‐based telescopes is inspiring astronomers and helping to decipher the early history of the Universe.

In an age when scientific knowledge is increasingly being treated as a form of property, a general understanding of patents is becoming a necessity for the physicist.

Our understanding of vortex matter in superconductors has grown dramatically in the last decade, creating new horizons in fundamental science and potential commercial applications.
