The NA62 Collaboration has dramatically reduced the uncertainty in its measurement of an extremely rare particle decay, in ...

In 1930, a young physicist named Carl D. Anderson was tasked by his mentor with measuring the energies of cosmic ...

Nicholas Sparks, a professor of practice in the Tulane School of Science and Engineering, has discovered a theoretical mass ...

A team of physicists used ChatGPT to help crack a long-standing problem in quantum field theory, producing a new closed-form expression for single-minus gluon tree amplitudes that specialists had ...

UC Santa Cruz physicist Stefano Profumo has put forward two imaginative but scientifically grounded theories that may help solve one of the biggest mysteries in physics: the origin of dark matter. In ...

A particle accelerator that produces intense X-rays could be squeezed into a device that fits on a table, my colleagues and I have found in a new research project. The way that intense X-rays are ...

Physicists have shown that particles produced in collimated sprays called jets retain information about their origins in subatomic particle smashups. Physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE ...

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.

The Standard Model of Particle Physics is the best theory scientists have to explain how the universe works on subatomic ...

Inside the Large Hadron Collider, protons slam together at nearly the speed of light, creating a brief fireball of quarks and gluons that looks, at first glance, like pure chaos. New work from CERN ...
