Modern physics can predict the behavior of particles with stunning accuracy, yet some of its biggest calculations fail on an ...

A year ago, researchers made a splash with a wildly creative idea for building a laser from notoriously elusive particles, ...

Most of the matter in the universe is dark matter, but for decades physicists haven’t been able to directly observe it – 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 magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than others. Reading time 5 minutes For all practical purposes, the Standard ...

Physicists at Cern have discovered a plethora of new exotic particles being created in the collisions produced by the Large Hadron Collider over the past few years. So many have been found, in fact, ...
