At the heart of every atomic nucleus, the strong interaction quietly dictates the structure of matter, yet for decades one of ...

For more than 40 years, physicist John Conway has led research in high-energy particle physics, a field driven by a simple ...

Retired psychiatrist Dr. Sam D. Toney releases Revelation Equation, a science fiction novel grounded in real physics that ...

Scientists hunted dark matter and solar neutrinos with one of the largest experiments yet. While the neutrinos likely ...

Researchers from TUM, working at CERN, have made a groundbreaking discovery that reveals how deuterons are formed. Another long-standing question in particle physics has been answered. Scientists ...

Scientists announced on Wednesday that they have found no evidence for the hypothetical “sterile neutrino,” an extra version of the ghostly neutrino particles that are ubiquitous in the universe. The ...

A decade-long investigation into puzzling neutrino behavior has now ruled out one of the most widely discussed explanations: ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is described extremely well by quantum theory, while the world of gravitation ...

Ten years ago, physicists working at CERN, the international research institute for particle physics near Geneva, announced the discovery of the Higgs boson. This elusive particle, first predicted in ...

Everything we see consists of molecules and atoms, which in turn consist of atomic nuclei and electrons. The atomic nuclei contain positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons, which consist of ...

Coe College will lead universities in Iowa and across the U.S. in research of "high-level physics" with the aid of a ...

Cosmic rays, which are ultra-high energy particles originating from all over the Universe, strike protons in the upper atmosphere and produce showers of new particles. The fast-moving charged ...
