Ever wondered what makes up the universe? Explore the fascinating world of fundamental particles, from the tiniest quarks to the atoms shaping our reality, in this concise guide. Trump’s Message to ...

Dipangkar Dutta receives funding from US Dept. of Energy and NSF. A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic particles. What ...

Physicists are eyeing charged gravitinos—ultra-heavy, stable particles from supergravity theory—as possible Dark Matter candidates. Unlike axions or WIMPs, these particles carry electric charge but ...

At the foot of the thickly forested Dashi Hill, in southern China’s Guangdong province, pre-approved visitors can take a ride aboard a unique yellow train. Rather than winding through the serene ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: String theory—the idea that particles are not point-like, but instead one-dimensional strings—is a popular theoretical framework that attempts to ...

An artistic illustration of the mechanism proposed by Professor Stefano Profumo where quantum effects near the rapidly expanding cosmic horizon after the Big Bang gravitationally generate dark matter ...

Physicists have used a machine-learning method to identify surprising new twists on the non-reciprocal forces governing a many-body system. The work is one of the relatively few instances of using AI ...

Overcoming discrimination in a mostly male preserve, she did groundbreaking work that showed experimentalist physicists where and how to look for new particles. By Katrina Miller Mary K. Gaillard was ...

A new theory promises to simplify our approach to the universe's earliest moments, but some cosmologists say further mathematical scrutiny is warranted. Reading time 5 minutes Following the Big Bang, ...
