New results from the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab found no evidence of a hypothetical fourth flavor of neutrino ...

A new theory for the origins of dark matter suggests that fast-moving, neutrino-like dark particles could have decoupled from ...

Neutrinos are tiny subatomic particles that barely interact with matter. They can pass through planets without stopping. The ...

An illustration conveying the idea of a space-based quantum internet, which would seem, like the hypothetical particle of a tachyon, to outpace light. An illustration ...

The current Standard Model of particle physics begins to unravel when probed much beyond the range of current particle accelerators. So no matter what the Large Hadron Collider finds, it is going to ...

There are a number of things that we still don’t understand about our universe. Case in point, since the 1930s, scientists have been searching for particles that are simultaneously matter and ...

Dark matter could be made of particles that each weigh almost as much as a human cell and are nearly dense enough to become miniature black holes, new research suggests. While dark matter is thought ...

The Standard Model of particles and interactions is remarkably successful for a theory everyone knows is missing big pieces. It accounts for the everyday stuff we know like protons, neutrons, ...

Everything we've ever detected in the Universe, from matter to radiation, can be broken down into its smallest constituents. Everything in this world is made of atoms, which are made of nuclei and ...

A new hypothetical particle could solve two cosmic mysteries at once: what dark matter is made of, and why there's enough matter for us to exist at all. "We know you have to have these two ingredients ...
