A cornerstone of physics may require some revision if ƒ ndings at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are conƒ rmed. Recent experiments suggest that the current theory of electromagnetism — one of the four fundamental forces in the universe — may not accurately account for the behavior of atoms in exotic, highly charged states.
