Exotic hypothetical particles known as axions could potentially be produced inside a nuclear reactor, something The Big Bang ...

Spencer Axani, assistant professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, is the inventor of CosmicWatch, a portable, low-cost particle detector that tracks muons, invisible particles that ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

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

Physicists are quietly testing an audacious idea: that the mass of everything around us might not come from an invisible ...

New results from the MicroBooNE experiment rule out the existence of a sterile neutrino, reshaping how scientists think about ...

An analysis of several experiments aimed at detecting the mysterious neutrino has identified a hint of a crack in the ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

It’s a fundamental principle of physics that particles with opposite charges attract each other, while those with the same charge repel. But now, scientists at the University of Oxford have found that ...

Yesterday, we presented a comprehensive guide to the world of subatomic particles, exploring all the known elementary and composite particles. But now it’s time to put certainty to one side and ...

The fundamental nature of living things challenges assumptions that physicists have held for centuries.

New research shows the way soccer players move about the field bears similarities to the manner in which particles behave under the chaotic conditions of turbulence. This discovery is one of the many ...
