The zeptoverse: probing the smallest scales in physics
Original: The zeptoverse: what is it and how will it transform physics?
Researchers report detecting signals from the smallest distances ever probed, a scale being called the zeptoverse. The findings suggest experiments can now resolve physics at zeptometre ranges, far finer than previously possible. Scientists are discussing what the signals might mean for existing theories and whether they could reveal new particles or forces beyond the current standard model.
Why now: New results claiming the smallest distance scales ever measured have drawn attention from physicists and science media.
