Astronomers found evidence that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, hinting at a "fundamental breakthrough" that ...
Dark matter seems invisible, but it makes up most matter, and we have evidence that it gives the cosmos its shape. Now ...
This is what the creation of a Higgs Boson looks like to the Large Hadron Collider. (Credit: CERN) The Higgs boson is, if ...
A phase change in the early universe and particles called HYPERs could make dark matter detectable in future experiments. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...
Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.
A new unified theory connects two fundamental domains of modern quantum physics: It joins two opposite views of how a single ...
The Standard Model of particle physics does a decent enough job of explaining the universe, but it still has some holes in it. Now, a new study outlines how one hypothetical particle, the axion, may ...
Our best model of particle physics explains only about 5 percent of the universe. The Standard Model is a thing of beauty. It is the most rigorous theory of particle physics, incredibly precise and ...
Scientists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have for the first time observed a fundamental asymmetry in the behavior of baryons, the particles that form the bulk of all visible matter. The ...
