"Precision in these measurements is critical, as even subtle discrepancies could signal deviations from the model — ...

Buried deep below the American Midwest, a new kind of observatory is taking shape that aims to watch some of the most elusive particles in the universe as they stream straight through Earth. The Deep ...

Neutrinos are low-mass subatomic particles with zero electric charge that interact with matter only via the weak nuclear force and gravity. This makes neutrinos difficult to detect, despite the fact ...

Sam Baron receives funding from the Australian Research Council. The Matter of Everything tells the history of physics through experiments. Any book about the history of science for a general audience ...

Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr had an ongoing rivalry about the true nature of quantum mechanics, and came up with a thought ...

Neutrinos – you may have heard of them referred to as "ghost particles" – pass through everything because they are extremely ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is ...

The gap between theoretical predictions and the experimental measurements isn’t a full-blown discovery yet Theresa Machemer Correspondent The 50-foot-wide racetrack used to study muons traveled by ...

Particle physics continues to probe the most fundamental constituents of matter while dark matter research seeks to illuminate the unseen mass that permeates our Universe. Recent efforts have ...

The constancy of the speed of light is a pillar of modern physics, but questions persist about its absolute universality.

One of the smallest things in the universe could have just changed everything we know about it. On Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in ...
