Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

Astronomers found evidence that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, hinting at a "fundamental breakthrough" that ...

Scientists at Fermilab’s MicroBooNE experiment have ruled out the existence of the elusive sterile neutrino, a particle proposed for decades to explain puzzling neutrino behavior. Their high-precision ...

CERN, a center for physics research outside Geneva, Switzerland, is best known for discovering some of the building blocks of our universe. But scientists there are also studying new ways to treat ...

Current theories suggest that W and Z bosons acquire mass from interactions with the Higgs scalar field, but a new study suggests that the higher dimensional structure of spacetime could be the actual ...

This episode is made in partnership with our friends at What’s Watt, a new show about electricity. Head to their channel now ...

Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

An atmospheric scientist at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of The University of Alabama System, has ...

Scientists have long believed that foam behaves like glass, with bubbles locked into place. New simulations reveal that ...

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in equations rather than explained from first principles. A new proposal argues that ...

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Delaware is a vibrant hub of scientific inquiry, encompassing a diverse range of research areas that push the boundaries of human ...
