Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

Physicists have set a new upper limit on the mass of neutrinos. And the finding could poke a big hole in the Standard Model of particle physics. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

Discover the fascinating world of particle physics — the most fundamental building blocks of the universe and the forces that connect them. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in equations rather than explained from first principles. A new proposal argues that ...

Theoretical physicists have established a close connection between the two rapidly developing fields in theoretical physics, quantum information theory and non-invertible symmetries in particle and ...

If the universe was a soundtrack, we have been humming it our whole life. Every atom in our body, every star in the sky, every beam of light is part of a piece of music that never stops playing.

Scientists at CERN in Switzerland have announced the discovery of a new elementary particle, the first new particle since the Z boson was discovered way back in 1983. Curiously, CERN isn't calling ...

Physicists have long sought to describe the universe in terms of equations. Now, S James Gates explains how research on a class of geometric symbols known as adinkras could lead to fresh insights into ...
