Looming behind Regenstein Library is a bronze, mushroom cloud–shaped sculpture—Henry Moore’s Nuclear Energy. Installed in 1967, it now seems like an inconspicuous part of the campus landscape. In ...

OpenAI's GPT-5.2 has derived a new formula for gluon interactions, overturning assumptions of zero amplitude and advancing theoretical physics.

A surprising and rare particle decay has left scientists puzzled as kaons, particles made up of quarks, are decaying in ways ...

Neutrino lasers: It’s an idea that many physicists didn’t see coming. At first glance, physics suggests that it would be impossible to make a laser of neutrinos, famously elusive subatomic particles.

William Barter works for the University of Edinburgh. He receives funding from UKRI. He is a member of the LHCb collaboration at Cern. Why didn’t the universe annihilate itself moments after the big ...

The first-known observations of matter–antimatter asymmetry in a decaying composite subatomic particle that belongs to the baryon class are reported from the LHCb experiment located at the Large ...

Reconciling space and time has been one of the most profound challenges in physics. One of the thorniest is how to stitch together the rules that steer subatomic particles and the rules that sculpt ...

Anomalous radio signals detected in Antarctica by the ANITA experiment were coming upward from Earth rather than down from the sky. Researchers used digital and mathematical simulations to test ...

A new measurement finds the universe's teensiest particles weigh no more than one-millionth the mass of an electron. Reading time 2 minutes Physicists have placed a new limit on how big the elusive ...
