Sebastian Mizera just joined the physics department as an assistant professor, researching quantum field theory.

To peer into the heart of the sun, a 13.7-meter-wide stainless steel shell lined with over 2,200 light-gathering sensors hides deep under a mountain in central Italy. Known as the Borexino experiment, ...

The Standard Model of particle physics, which explains most of the known behaviors and interactions of fundamental subatomic particles, has held up remarkably well over several decades. This ...

Physicists may have yet another fundamental particle left to discover. When physicists at the Large Hardon Collider discovered the Higgs boson back in 2012, they’d found the last missing piece of the ...

WASHINGTON, Aug 10 (Reuters) - The peculiar wobble of a subatomic particle called a muon in a U.S. laboratory experiment is making scientists increasingly suspect they are missing something in their ...

The first-known observations of matter–antimatter asymmetry in a decaying composite subatomic particle that belongs to the baryon class are reported from the LHCb experiment located at the Large ...

The Standard Model is the modern physical understanding of three of the four forces of nature: electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force. When you purchase through links on ...

At school, we all learned from Isaac Newton that no object can change its speed unless an external force acts upon it. For the most part he’s right—but now a team of physicists has demonstrated that ...

A study by Dartmouth researchers proposes a new theory about the origin of dark matter, the mysterious and invisible substance thought to give the universe its shape and structure. They say the ...

Predicting the properties of subatomic particles before their experimental discovery has been a big challenge for physicists. Predicting the properties of subatomic particles before their experimental ...
