Several massive multimillion dollar experiments should soon reveal more about the nature of these ghostly particles ...

Scientists have made a particle physics discovery that they say could mean nothing less than the upheaval of our entire model of the building blocks of the universe—if their results can be ...

Quantum mechanics is both the most powerful theory physicists have ever devised and the most baffling. On the one hand, ...

For three decades, a riddle has followed neutrinos, the near-weightless particles that stream through Earth by the trillions each second. They change identities as they fly, shifting among three known ...

NPR's Ayesha Rascoe speaks to Esra Barlas Yücel, a researcher at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, about Fermilab's most precise measurements of the muon particle's magnetic wobble. It's ...

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in equations rather than explained from first principles. A new proposal argues that ...

Sam Baron receives funding from the Australian Research Council. The Matter of Everything tells the history of physics through experiments. Any book about the history of science for a general audience ...

What makes something quantum? This question has kept a small but dedicated fraction of the world's population—most of them quantum physicists—up at night for decades. At very small scales, we know the ...
