Cosmic rays are extremely fast, charged particles that travel through space at nearly the speed of light. The Amaterasu ...
The famed collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory has ended operations, but if all goes to plan, a new collider will rise ...
Trillions of neutrinos—nearly massless, neutrally charged particles—pass through us every second, but we only acknowledge ...
Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.
This is what the creation of a Higgs Boson looks like to the Large Hadron Collider. (Credit: CERN) The Higgs boson is, if nothing else, the most expensive particle of all time. It's a bit of an unfair ...
Published January 7 in the journal Nature, one paper tackled the age-old problem of nature’s construction with a bit of a twist: it suggests that living networks, like our brain, may use some of the ...
"It highlights gravity's possible hidden complexity and invites a reevaluation of where dark matter effects originate." ...
The Pauli exclusion principle is a cornerstone of the Standard Model of particle physics and is essential for the structure ...
"If our hypothesized dark charge is true, then we believe there could be a significant population of primordial black holes, which would be consistent with other astrophysical observations, and ...
Using the world's most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider, scientists have found that the quark-gluon ...
A century ago, Erwin Schrödinger came up with an equation that says how the quantum world behaves. Now scientists are asking ...
The way time ticks forward in our universe has long stumped physicists. Now, a new set of tools from entangled atoms to black ...
