When the International Space Station plunges to its fiery doom in 2030, its loss to science will be incalculable, even if it ...

As a central hub for scientific exploration, CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is dedicated to probing the enigmatic particles that could potentially elucidate the mystery of dark ...

What if I told you that while you can't see dark matter, maybe you can hear it? I know, I know, it sounds crazy…and it is ...

Researchers have moved one step closer to solving one of science’s greatest mysteries—why the universe is filled with matter instead of nothing. Scientists at Indiana University have made a major ...

Breaking the rules is exciting, especially if they have held for a long time. This is true not just in life but also in particle physics. Here the rule I'm thinking of is called “lepton flavor ...

There is a limit to how big we can build particle colliders on Earth, whether that is because of limited space or limited ...

A worker rides on his bicycle in the CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) tunnel during maintenance. In late May, I had a chance to visit CERN, near Geneva, and visit with Jakub Mościcki, head of CERN’s ...

Researechers are testing superconducting microwire single-photon detectors (SMSPDs) for use in future particle physics exepriments. The detectors, which were designed and fabricated at JPL and ...

ANN ARBOR, Mich.–The results of a high-profile Fermilab physics experiment involving a University of Michigan professor appear to confirm strange 20-year-old findings that poke holes in the standard ...

Scientists from around the world are at Brown to discuss what is known, and what needs to be learned, about the long-sought particle discovered a decade ago.
