A particle detected in 2023 at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea may have originated from a cosmic particle accelerator ...

A gigantic "blazar" may have fired a beam of light-speed particles at our planet, creating a 2023 "ghost particle" detection.

Space and time looked settled, at least in broad outline. Einstein’s special relativity gave physics a durable framework for ...

Theoretical physicist John Ellis has spent decades at the heart of CERN, helping to shape our understanding of the universe ...

Our most powerful particle accelerators mimic near-light speeds of cosmic particles. But no upgrade may be capable of ...

University of Tennessee, Knoxville physicists and their colleagues have made critical measurements of the lifetime and decay energy of tellurium-104 (Te-104), an important step in answering a ...

Scientists working at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider may be seeing the strongest hints yet of physics beyond the Standard Model — the decades-old theory that explains the fundamental particles and ...

The future circular collider at CERN, intended to probe the properties of the Higgs boson in 20 years' time, excites ...

NASA’s Juno Mission has captured electrons traveling near the speed of light in Jupiter’s magnetic environment, providing ...

Physicists have spent the last 20 years pondering an apparent discrepancy between experimental results and theoretical predictions for the magnetic properties of the muon, the electron’s heavier ...

The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than others. Reading time 5 minutes For all practical purposes, the Standard ...

A new subatomic particle known as the Ξcc⁺ has been discovered at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. This heavy proton-like particle contains two charm quarks and was detected using the upgraded LHCb ...
