Scientists have inched a step closer to solving an enduring mystery in physics — why the universe contains any matter at all — thanks to a newly combined analysis from two of the world's leading ...

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

Just after the Tevatron collider at Fermilab in Illinois released its results, the Large Hadron Collider’s (LHC) ATLAS and CMS experiment teams presented their latest preliminary results in the search ...

If dark matter is made from "dark" versions of the basic building blocks of ordinary matter, the world's largest particle accelerator should be able to pin it down, a new study suggests. When you ...

After years of careful investigation, researchers working on the Micro Booster Neutrino Experiment (MicroBooNE) have determined that a ...

On Wednesday (Sept. 27) morning, an international team of physicists reported a major finding about an elusive form of matter known as antimatter. It appears that antimatter responds to gravity the ...

The neutrino “fog” is beginning to materialize. Lightweight subatomic particles called neutrinos have begun elbowing their way into the data of experiments not designed to spot them. Two experiments, ...

Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that has long posed a problem: According to physicists’ best current ...

"If you think about it like a radio, the search for dark matter is like tuning the dial to search for one particular radio station. Our method is like doing a scan of 100,000 radio stations." When you ...
