This article reviews recent advancements in testing fundamental physics using atoms and molecules, covering topics such as parity violation, searches for permanent electric dipole moments, tests of the CPT theorem and Lorentz symmetry, searches for spatiotemporal variation of fundamental constants, tests of quantum electrodynamics, tests of general relativity and the equivalence principle, searches for dark matter and dark energy, and tests of the spin-statistics theorem. Key results are presented in the context of potential new physics and broader investigations in other fields. The article discusses ongoing and future experiments over the next decade, highlighting the transformative role of atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics in advancing our understanding of the fundamental laws of nature.This article reviews recent advancements in testing fundamental physics using atoms and molecules, covering topics such as parity violation, searches for permanent electric dipole moments, tests of the CPT theorem and Lorentz symmetry, searches for spatiotemporal variation of fundamental constants, tests of quantum electrodynamics, tests of general relativity and the equivalence principle, searches for dark matter and dark energy, and tests of the spin-statistics theorem.
