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

A phase change in the early universe and particles called HYPERs could make dark matter detectable in future experiments. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

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

A new type of particle has been discovered by scientists at CERN using data from last year's run of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The particle opens the door to a "new frontier" of physics, ...

Two recent studies by Professor Stefano Profumo at the University of California, Santa Cruz, propose theories that attempt to answer one of the most fundamental open questions in modern physics: What ...

Our best model of particle physics explains only about 5 percent of the universe. The Standard Model is a thing of beauty. It is the most rigorous theory of particle physics, incredibly precise and ...

If dark matter is made from "dark" versions of the basic building blocks of ordinary matter, the world's largest particle accelerator should be able to pin it down, a new study suggests. When you ...

A new unified theory connects two fundamental domains of modern quantum physics: It joins two opposite views of how a single ...

An obscure theory of elementary particles proved to be key to China’s re-emergence as a scientific nation after the Cultural ...

Topological materials could usher in a new age of electronics, but scientists are still discovering surprising aspects of ...
