No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment will study nature’s most mysterious particle a mile beneath South Dakota’s Black ...

A mirror universe may have formed alongside ours, preserving laws of physics that appear violated.

A neglected force produced by neutrinos and other particles helps atomic physics measurements align with predictions of the standard model.

A tiny discrepancy in particle physics has loomed for decades as an exciting possible crack in one of science’s most ...

A groundbreaking experiment at the Tokyo University of Science has proven that beams of antimatter atom exhibit wave-like ...

Theories of quantum mechanics predict that some particles can exist in superpositions, which essentially means that they can be in more than one state at once. When a particle's state is measured, ...

Physicists have discovered an exotic new state of matter that takes the form of a highly ordered crystal of subatomic particles. The new state of matter, called a "bosonic correlated insulator," could ...

Now is a surreal time to be a dark matter researcher. Even as research funding is being cut by governments around the world, dark matter remains one of the biggest and most exciting open problems in ...

Have you ever stood by the sea and been overwhelmed by its vastness, by how quickly it could roll in and swallow you? Evidence suggests that we are suspended in a cosmic sea of dark matter, a ...
