"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

To learn more about the nature of matter, energy, space, and time, physicists smash high-energy particles together in large accelerator machines, creating sprays of millions of particles per second of ...

This discovery is important because it ruled out a major possibility for new physics beyond the Standard Model.

After a decade of painstaking measurements, scientists have delivered a major plot twist in particle physics: a ...

The universe's matter-antimatter asymmetry, where matter significantly outweighs antimatter despite their theoretically equal creation at the Big Bang, remains a major unsolved problem in physics.

Physicists have shown that, like everything else experiencing gravity, antimatter falls downwards when dropped. This outcome is not surprising — a difference in the gravitational behaviour of matter ...

A proposed funding program for small- and medium-scale projects reveals insights into the science, logistical challenges, and future of particle physics research. Particle physicists have a reputation ...

Perhaps dark matter is made of an entirely different kind of particle than the ones physicists have been searching for. New experiments are springing up to look for these ultra-lightweight phantoms.

ANN ARBOR, Mich.–The results of a high-profile Fermilab physics experiment involving a University of Michigan professor appear to confirm strange 20-year-old findings that poke holes in the standard ...
