High-energy cosmic rays, 10 million times more powerful than particles accelerated in Earth's strongest atom smasher, may ...

Dark matter particles could be mediators of the interaction between electrons and atomic nuclei, as shown by a study ...

Physicists may have just cracked open a hidden side of the quantum world. For decades, every known particle was thought to ...

Long-held assumptions tell us that atoms with the same number of protons, neutrons and electrons are indistinguishable, but ...

Recent findings from research we have been carrying out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern in Geneva suggest that we might be closing in on signs of undiscovered physics. If confirmed, these ...

Scientists have pulled off a mind-bending quantum experiment that sounds almost impossible: they showed that tiny metal ...

There may be an ultraheavy explanation for the mystery surrounding the origins of the highest-energy particles ever observed.

The Earth’s crust is constantly rewritten by volcanoes, erosion, and plate tectonics. New crust is being created while old ...

Physicists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have uncovered new hints that certain particle decays may not behave as the ...

A new study, published in the journal Physical Review Letters, suggests that some of the highest-energy cosmic rays could ...
