Researchers Propose Bold Plan to Uncover Mysterious Fifth Force in Physics

Originally Published 6 months ago — by The Debrief

Physicists at ETH Zurich are using precision atomic spectroscopy of calcium isotopes to search for a potential fifth force of nature, which could help explain mysteries like dark matter and extend beyond the Standard Model. Their experiments aim to detect subtle energy shifts that might indicate the presence of an unknown force carried by a new particle, although current results are inconclusive and further research is ongoing.

Scientists Explore Fifth Force as Key to Dark Matter Mysteries

Originally Published 6 months ago — by The Daily Galaxy

A collaborative study using high-precision atomic measurements of calcium isotopes suggests the possible existence of a fifth fundamental force, which could help explain dark matter. The research employs ion trapping and laser spectroscopy to detect tiny energy shifts that might indicate this new force, refining the search for physics beyond the Standard Model.
