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

Neutrinos have been with us since the beginning. They existed alongside prehistoric humans, dinosaurs and the first scattered crumbs of life on Earth. The birth of the solar system, the formation of ...

A scientist who achieved worldwide fame with the discovery of the so-called 'God particle' left a £3.2 million fortune.

In the early 20th century, the development of quantum mechanics fundamentally changed our understanding of atomic and subatomic processes. This revolutionary theory, which emerged from the work of ...

Astronomers found evidence that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, hinting at a "fundamental breakthrough" that challenges our understanding of how the universe evolved.

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

Koch, who studied vision, thought that by measuring people's brain responses as they looked at special optical illusions, scientists could figure out which parts of the brain are activated when ...

The electrodes are coated with carbon nanotubes. As they flow through the reactor, the reactants interact weakly with the carbon nanotubes, exposing them to the electric field. This induces electronic ...

In 2023, a subatomic particle called a neutrino crashed into Earth with such a high amount of energy that it should have been ...

Scientists have found “strange quarks” that originated as virtual particles that sprang from nothing Quantum physics paints a ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have uncovered experimental evidence that ...
