Deep-Sea Neutrino Experiment Finds No Crack in Einstein's Relativity—But Sharpens the Search

A deep-sea neutrino experiment, KM3NeT/ORCA, tested a core principle of Einstein's relativity, Lorentz invariance, finding no violation. The study has established new, stringent experimental limits, sharpening the search for potential deviations in fundamental physics.

New Particle Beam to Test Einstein's Gravity with Exotic Matter

Researchers have developed a novel particle beam using exotic muonium atoms to test Einstein's theory of gravity for second-generation particles, a first for physics. This experiment could either confirm General Relativity's reach or reveal new physics, potentially a fifth fundamental force.
