One of the first to propose this idea was physicist Richard Feynman, who, in a now-famous 1981 lecture, stated that to ...

A team of young scientists paused their new physics searches to develop an innovative machine-learning tool, which is now ...

Scientists around the world are testing ways to further boost the power of particle accelerators while drastically shrinking their size.

Once the most popular framework for physics beyond the Standard Model, supersymmetry is facing a reckoning—but many researchers are not giving up on it yet.

A possible explanation for the lightness of neutrinos could help answer some big questions about the universe.

Neutrinos don’t seem to get their mass in the same way as other particles in the Standard Model. In 1998, researchers made a discovery that challenged their understanding of particle physics and ...

Yesterday, at the annual Rencontres de Moriond conference taking place in La Thuile, Italy, the LHCb collaboration at CERN reported a new milestone in our understanding of the subtle yet profound ...

Most astronomers trek to the mountaintops to study the stars, but a group of physicists are seeking the secrets of the cosmos with a detector at the bottom of the ocean.

The particles we’re made of About 99 percent of your body is made up of atoms of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. You also contain much smaller amounts of the other elements that are essential ...

The average banana produces a particle of antimatter roughly once every 75 minutes. US-based scientists and students working on research and experiments with the Large Hadron Collider contribute to a ...

Quantum entanglement, doubted by Einstein, has passed increasingly stringent tests. Over 12 billion years ago, speeding particles of light left an extremely luminous celestial object called a quasar ...
