The Standard Model of Particle Physics is the best theory scientists have to explain how the universe works on subatomic ...

The field of particle physics is approaching a critical horizon defined by challenges including unprecedented data volumes and detector complexity. Upcoming ...

Two independent lines of evidence from the world’s most powerful particle experiments are converging on the same ...

A surprising and rare particle decay has left scientists puzzled as kaons, particles made up of quarks, are decaying in ways that defy current physics models. Could this anomaly indicate the existence ...

After years of confusion, a new study confirms the proton is tinier than once thought. That enables a test of the standard model of particle physics.

The Mu2e experiment reached an important milestone as the collaboration moved a key component of the experiment, called the ...

After 25 years, Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider—the U.S.’s largest particle collider—has ceased operations, but its science lives on ...

A rare black hole explosion accounts for an “impossible” neutrino detection, say UMass Amherst scientists, possibly hinting at dark matter.

Ciaran O'Hare scribbles symbols using colored markers across his whiteboard like he's trying to solve a crime—or perhaps ...

In 2023, a subatomic particle called a neutrino crashed into Earth with such a high amount of energy that it should have been impossible. In fact, there are no known sources anywhere in the universe ...

CERN's ALICE experiment has resolved the puzzle of deuteron formation, showing that most deuterons form via resonance-driven coalescence after collisions cool.
