Donald Glaser of the University of California, Berkeley, won a Nobel Prize for inventing the bubble chamber in 1952 as a way of detecting subatomic particles. Now a University of Chicago professor, ...

Scientists working on the COUPP experiment at DOE's Fermilab have announced a new development in the quest to observe dark matter. The experiment tightened constraints on "spin-dependent" properties ...

The 1970s were a thriving time in the world of physics, heralding such milestones as the development of the Standard Model and the discovery of the bottom quark. Now scientists at Fermilab are ...

Bubble chambers, which were first used in the 1950s to detect electrically charged particles, might sound as if they should belong firmly to particle-physics history books. Now, however, physicists ...

One of the major criticisms of string theory is that it cannot presently be experimentally verified. Strings themselves—if they even exist—are thought to be much too small to detect using even the ...

Invisible, imperceptible and yet far more common than ordinary matter, dark matter makes up an astounding 85 percent of the universe's mass. Physicists are slowly but steadily tracking down the nature ...
