A neglected force produced by neutrinos and other particles helps atomic physics measurements align with predictions of the ...

For years, one tiny mismatch in particle physics carried outsized hopes. The muon, a heavier and short-lived cousin of the ...

A tiny discrepancy in particle physics has loomed for decades as an exciting possible crack in one of science's most ...

Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever tabletop experiment, researchers at Leiden University in the ...

Neutrino physics remains a pivotal area in the quest to unravel fundamental aspects of particle behaviour and the evolution of the universe. Neutrinos—elusive, nearly massless particles—are known to ...

For decades, the four known forces of nature, gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces, have ...

A decade-long effort to measure one of physics’ most fundamental constants culminates in a moment of uncertainty and ...

In the world of particle physics, you are never alone — quite literally. Every moment there is an invisible rainstorm of subatomic particles falling down on us from space. Unlike the kind of matter we ...

On July 5, underneath the suburbs of Geneva, Switzerland, the world’s largest particle collider will fire up and start collecting data again. And what they might find has the potential to blow ...
