The particle in question, known as a sterile neutrino, was supposed to only interact with gravity and have zero interactions ...

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 ...

Particles rush through a long tunnel in the Large Hadron Collider. Maximilien Brice/CERN, CC BY-SA When you push “start” on your microwave or computer, the device flips right on – but major physics ...

An international team of scientists has provided new results in an experiment that could have a profound impact on humanity’s understanding of the universe by potentially revealing the existence of a ...

The Belle II experiment has recently made precise measurements of the lifetime of subatomic particles called quarks and leptons (such as electrons and neutrinos). These particles are believed to be ...

Carnegie Mellon University's Professor Curtis Meyer and his research colleagues explore an uncharted world inside protons and neutrons. For the first time, researchers have provided measurements ...

Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be determined by examining the state ...

Just over the border from Georgia, in the Caucasus Mountains of southern Russia, lies a small town called Neytrino. For the last half-century, its main business has been the study of the tiniest ...

Scientists have recently detected a pattern of strange signals in the sky above Antarctica. It defies current physics models and could represent a new particle, scientists told Space.com. Discovered ...

The Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB accelerator measures particle interactions with extreme precision. Collisions of electron and positron beams create the high-energy environment needed to ...
