Physicists working on the LHCb experiment have spotted an elusive and fleeting particle, a heavier and more charming cousin ...

Scientists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have confirmed the existence of a massless particle, long theorized ...

Quantum mechanics is both the most powerful theory physicists have ever devised and the most baffling. On the one hand, ...

The hypothetical faster-than-light particle known as the tachyon may marry with the special theory of relativity, according to a team of physicists, making its existence more plausible. Tachyons are a ...

The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than ...

The Theoretical Advanced Study Institute in Elementary Particle Physics (TASI) recently concluded its 40th year, bringing 65 students from around the world to Boulder to delve into the “Frontiers of ...

Black holes could be a hologram. In fact, the entire universe could be a hologram. At least, that's one part of the idea behind a recent study published in the journal PRX Quantum. The study is a ...

A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

Scientists have made a particle physics discovery that they say could mean nothing less than the upheaval of our entire model of the building blocks of the universe—if their results can be ...

Ah, dark matter. Creator of the universe, sculptor of galaxies, great brewer of coffee (probably). There seems to be nothing it can’t do, or isn’t responsible for, but there’s just one problem: Where ...
