How the world of the smallest particles is structured, what is known about fundamental forces, and what particles have to do ...

From a particle smasher encircling the moon to an “impossible” laser, five scientists reveal the experiments they would run ...

Why do neutrinos, these elementary particles, sometimes seem to act in such a puzzling way? For decades, physicists have been ...

Experimental particle physics is the practical investigation of the fundamental components of matter and radiation. A crucial tool in the arsenal of the experimental particle physicist is the particle ...

Theoretical particle physics is the development of models for describing fundamental particles and their interactions. This includes testing and refining the prevailing theory: the standard model.

The chief of the CERN physics laboratory says China's decision to pause its major particle accelerator project presents an ...

The detection of two singular black hole mergers, only one month apart in late 2024, improves our understanding of the nature ...

Because dark matter is completely invisible to light, science had to look for clever new methods to spot it.

An international research team including Korean scientists has measured the precise properties of a 'tetraquark,' a particle ...

The Martin A. Fisher School of Physics enjoys an international reputation for excellence in research, and is one of the highest-ranked of its size in the country. The department offers rigorous ...

India’s ambitious underground neutrino observatory was supposed to be built in the Bodi Hills in Tamil Nadu's Western Ghats.

But physicists are eager to know more about neutrinos because they may be able to break the Standard Model of particle physics, which is our best explanation of the subatomic world. While it is an ...
