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

The Standard Model is an "astoundingly successful" theory in particle physics, detailing the behavior and interactions of 17 fundamental particles (12 fermions and 5 bosons), with thousands of precise ...

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

As a physicist working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern, one of the most frequent questions I am asked is “When are you going to find something?” Resisting the temptation to sarcastically ...

A team of physicists has coaxed a single, photon-like particle into behaving as if it lives in 37 different quantum ...

Jason Bono was one of the researchers behind a major scientific moment — when tiny particles unexpectedly unraveled one of the most important and successful theories in physics. Bono, who earned his ...

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

An illustration conveying the idea of a space-based quantum internet, which would seem, like the hypothetical particle of a tachyon, to outpace light. An illustration ...

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have used computer simulations to model how a composite material reacts to loading. They studied a particle model of a pillar of stiffer ...
