Two independent lines of evidence from the world’s most powerful particle experiments are converging on the same ...

In 1930, a young physicist named Carl D. Anderson was tasked by his mentor with measuring the energies of cosmic ...

After years of confusion, a new study confirms the proton is tinier than once thought. That enables a test of the standard model of particle physics.

What is meant, when an experiment anticipates less than a quarter of an event, and four are registered by the detector? That ...

The Standard Model of Particle Physics is the best theory scientists have to explain how the universe works on subatomic ...

A new theory suggests the universe’s greatest secrets are hiding in a “zeptouniverse” that’s ready to be explored—without ...

Physicists have taken one small-but-consequential step toward measuring the mass of an elusive "ghost particle" called a neutrino — an achievement that could poke a significant hole in the Standard ...
