New results from the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab found no evidence of a hypothetical fourth flavor of neutrino ...

For three decades, a riddle has followed neutrinos, the near-weightless particles that stream through Earth by the trillions ...

A decade-long investigation into puzzling neutrino behavior has now ruled out one of the most widely discussed explanations: the sterile neutrino.

Sebastian Mizera just joined the physics department as an assistant professor, researching quantum field theory.

Neutrinos are tiny subatomic particles that barely interact with matter. They can pass through planets without stopping. The ...

From a particle smasher encircling the moon to an “impossible” laser, five scientists reveal the experiments they would run ...

Deep in the heart of the matter, some numbers don't add up. For example, while protons and neutrons are made of quarks, nature's fundamental building blocks bound together by gluons, their masses are ...

A century-old debate ends as physicists prove Einstein wrong using single photons to test quantum theory with unprecedented ...

University of Chicago scientists have solved a 20-year-old puzzle in particle physics using data from an experiment conducted for an entirely different purpose. Physicists had long known that ...

The smallest pieces of the universe are governed by a beautiful and mind-blowing set of rules: the “Standard Model.” The Standard Model explains the behavior of all 17 discovered particles, and it ...

From its resting place outside Chicago, Illinois, a long-defunct experiment is threatening to throw the field of elementary particles off balance. Physicists have toiled for ten years to squeeze a ...
