"This is a new contribution to our understanding of fundamental forces in biochemistry," says Muthukumar. "No one knew that the dielectric constant varied as one moves away from the polymer backbone.

The fundamental constants of nature seem perfectly tuned to allow life to exist. If they were even a little bit different, we simply wouldn't be here.

The physics dictating one of the universe’s four fundamental forces is relatively straightforward to understand and calculate (most of the time, at least).

However, since the mid-1980s, physicists have wondered if a fifth fundamental force could exist, which would help to explain some observational anomalies.

According to the current Standard Model, four fundamental forces underpin all known physics: electromagnetism, gravity, and the strong and weak nuclear forces. However, since the mid-1980s ...

The quest for a fifth fundamental force stems from the idea that, in addition to the well-known four forces—gravity, electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force, and the weak nuclear force ...
