Constants are supposed to be, well, constant. In physics there are a number of fundamental constants, such as the speed of light, Planck's constant, and the charge of an electron that are essential to ...

Essential for life: this illustration shows how fundamental constants of nature set the fundamental lower limit for liquid viscosity. (Courtesy: thehackneycollective.com) The values of the fundamental ...

It turns out that the definitions of nature's fundamental constants are anything but. In fact, new scientific research shows that we've been underestimating electromagnetic force and overestimating ...

The validation and application of theories in physics require the measurement of universal values known as fundamental constants. A team of French researchers* has just conducted the most accurate ...

The redefinition of several physical base units planned for 2018 requires precise knowledge of the values of certain fundamental physical constants. Scientists are working hard to meet the deadlines ...

Some things never change. physicists call them the constants of nature. Such quantities as the velocity of light, c, Newton’s constant of gravitation, G, and the mass of the electron, m e, are assumed ...
