Physicists have chased a unified description of nature for more than a century, yet quantum theory and gravity have ...

Particle physics has always proceeded in two ways, of which new particles is one. The other is by making very precise measurements that test the predictions of theories and look for deviations from ...

New results from the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab found no evidence of a hypothetical fourth flavor of neutrino ...

Deep underground in southern China, there is a 20,000-ton tank of liquid that can detect neutrinos. Named JUNO, the detector's first results are in — and they're very promising.

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

CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is designed to probe the fringes of known physics, and now the facility has found particles not behaving as predicted. While it’s still early days, the discovery ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward solving a long-standing mystery in particle physics, by finding no sign of the ...

As a physicist working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern, one of the most frequent questions I am asked is “When are you going to find something?” Resisting the temptation to sarcastically ...

Diana Parno’s head swam when she first stepped inside the enormous, metallic vessel of the experiment KATRIN. Within the house-sized, oblong structure, everything was symmetrical, clean and blindingly ...

The supercollider is now being used to explore quantum phenomena, including a “magic” form of quantum entanglement.

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