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

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

By bringing the long-standing and opposing views of quantum mechanics together to form a single cohesive theory, a research ...

Researechers are testing superconducting microwire single-photon detectors (SMSPDs) for use in future particle physics exepriments. The detectors, which were designed and fabricated at JPL and ...

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 ...

Albert Einstein was right about a shocking among of things, but not necessarily everything.

A new measurement of the strong nuclear force, which binds protons and neutrons together, confirms previous hints of an uncomfortable truth: We still don’t have a solid theoretical grasp of even the ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.
