Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in ...

The theorized unseen structure of spacetime could also explain of the outstanding questions about the accelerating expansion ...

Physicists are exploring whether hidden dimensions and the shape of space could help explain why fundamental particles have ...

New results from the MicroBooNE experiment rule out the existence of a sterile neutrino, reshaping how scientists think about ...

Noncommutative geometry offers a radical reformulation of traditional geometrical concepts by replacing the classical notion of a manifold with a noncommutative algebra of coordinates. This approach ...

On Monday, the Society of Physics Students, or SPS, welcomed Helen Quinn — a renowned particle physicist — to deliver the Howard L. Schultz Sr. Price Lecture. During the talk, Quinn spoke on her ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

Experimental particle physicists working at the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab National Accelerator Laboratory have found ...

The standard model of particle physics is often illustrated as a simple grid showing the 17 basic particles (shown above). But an alternative way of visualising it reveals the complex rules that ...

Red lines show the disintegration of a B-sub-s into two muons in the CMS camera at the Large Hadron Collider. Yello, green and blue are used to denote particles other than muons. Purdue University ...

Physicists at the world's largest particle accelerator have made a first-of-its-kind discovery about antimatter that could help solve one of the universe's biggest mysteries. The discovery — made at ...
