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

Restricting a strange class of particles known as anyons to one dimension could force them into adopting one of two new forms, models suggest, hinting at new fundamental interactions in particle ...

Shock wave dynamics and particle interaction constitute a rapidly evolving field that bridges high-speed fluid dynamics with particulate matter behaviour in a variety of industrial and natural ...

Somehow, neutrinos went from just another random particle to becoming tiny monsters that require multi-billion-dollar facilities to understand. And there’s just enough mystery surrounding them that we ...

Earlier this year, however, the UK government announced that it will no longer fund the upgrade of the LHCb experiment on the ...

In the race to uncover the deepest secrets of the universe, researchers are turning to powerful new tools. One of the most promising tools is the quantum computer. It offers a way to explore problems ...

What is meant, when an experiment anticipates less than a quarter of an event, and four are registered by the detector? That number discrepancy lies at the heart of a new conundrum of kaons: ...

Neutrinos are one of the most elusive and omnipresent particles in the universe. Their strange properties may explain why the amounts of matter and antimatter in our universe aren’t equal, as most ...

Tenjimbayashi and colleagues note that particle-coated droplets slipped off the substrate much more easily than did non-coated particles on a coated substrate. That’s because of differences between ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In the fall of 2022, a Princeton University graduate student named Carolina Figueiredo stumbled onto a massive coincidence. She ...

Electromagnetism and the weak nuclear force are two distinct fundamental forces. That wasn’t always the case. How many fundamental forces are there in our universe? For particle physicists, answering ...
