So physicists have been on the hunt for any sign of difference between matter and antimatter, known in the field as a ...
An unforeseen feature in proton-proton collisions previously observed by the CMS experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider ...
But axions were pushed aside as the WIMPs hypothesis gained more steam. Back-of-the-envelope calculations showed that the natural mass range of the WIMP would precisely match the abundances needed to ...
Physicists have recreated the mechanism behind cosmic ray acceleration in a lab for the first time using ultracold atoms and ...
Stevens’ team harnesses both the “wave-ness” and “particle-ness” of quantum objects to develop a groundbreaking imaging ...
The Higgs boson’s decay into muons happens in only about one in every 5000 Higgs decays. So, the team had to search for a ...
Simulating data in particle physics is expensive and not perfectly accurate. To get around this, researchers are now ...
In a chilled lab where temperatures drop close to absolute zero, a speck of magnet hovers in place. This tiny magnet, ...
Physics has a bit of a messy problem: There's matter missing in our universe. Something is there that we can't see but can detect! What could this mysterious substance be? A lot of astronomers are ...
Discover the fascinating world of particle physics — the most fundamental building blocks of the universe and the forces that connect them.
"While particle physics is deeply rooted in quantum mechanics, the observation of quantum entanglement in a new particle system and at much higher energy than previously possible is remarkable ...
The elusive Higgs particle has the power to undo physics as we know it. The fact that it hasn't could have big implications about the nature of the universe.
