NIST Experiments Challenge Fundamental Understanding of Electromagnetism

>From NIST Tech Beat: November 27, 2012

A cornerstone of physics may require a rethink if findings at the
 National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are confirmed.
 Recent experiments suggest* that the most rigorous predictions based
 on the fundamental theory of electromagnetism—one of the four
 fundamental forces in the universe, and harnessed in all electronic
 devices—may not accurately account for the behavior of atoms in
 exotic, highly charged states...
