Physicists know that their elegant theoretical description of forces and particles – the Standard Model – must be incomplete, ...

A team of theoretical physicists has proposed a new particle existing in a warped fifth dimension that could bridge ordinary matter with dark matter. The model, published in The European Physical ...

The preservation of Helium-3 polarization in laser-plasma accelerators could increase energy production for fusion reactors.

High above Earth, in the thin air of the Tibetan Plateau, a giant observatory ...

For years, scientists have searched for the sources of the most energetic particles in ...

A major obstacle in calculating the muon’s behavior is the strong force, the most powerful of the four fundamental forces, along with gravity, electromagnetism, and the weak force. It binds quarks ...

A good chunk of cosmology is riding on whether dark matter exists or not. But what makes us so certain that dark matter is ...

A team of theoretical physicists has proposed a new particle that could act as a bridge between ordinary matter and dark matter, existing in a warped fifth dimension beyond space and time. Their model ...

A detector buried deep in Antarctic ice has captured the first experimental evidence of a predicted but never-before-seen ...

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

"This is one more example of how the everyday ordinary world is full of wonders, if we only choose to see carefully." ...

The international collaboration of the Dark Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) satellite on Thursday announced its latest findings, reporting for the first time the observation of the charge-dependent ...
