A Single Positron Stayed Trapped for Months—What Physicists Can Test Next

A team at Northwestern University has held a single positron—one particle of antimatter—in a controlled trap for several months. This is not a step toward antimatter power or bulk storage. What it

Why Gravity’s Fundamental Constant Has Baffled Physicists for 225 Years

More than 225 years after the first laboratory measurement, the gravitational constant—known as big G—is among the least precisely measured fundamental constants in physics. A NIST result published in April 2026 has re-emerged in science media this week, reviving a
