Columbia professors contributed to new research that seeks to understand an anomaly that has puzzled particle physics for ...

Deep underground in southern China, there is a 20,000-ton tank of liquid that can detect neutrinos. Named JUNO, the ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward solving a long-standing mystery in particle physics, by finding no sign of the ...

Using a precisely aligned pair of laser beams, scientists can now hold a single aerosol particle in place and monitor how it ...

Light behaves both as a particle and as a wave. Since the days of Einstein, scientists have been trying to directly observe both of these aspects of light at the same time. Now, scientists have ...

Is light made of waves, or particles? This fundamental question has dogged scientists for decades, because light seems to be both. However, until now, experiments have revealed light to act either ...

Particle physics has always proceeded in two ways, of which new particles is one. The other is by making very precise measurements that test the predictions of theories and look for deviations from ...

The KATRIN (Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino) experiment has provided fresh insights into sterile neutrinos. Neutrinos ...

An expanding universe complicates this picture just a little bit, because the universe absolutely refuses to be ...
