New research puts forward compelling new evidence that dark matter interacts with cosmic "ghost particles" called neutrinos.

Inside high-energy proton collisions, quarks and gluons briefly form a dense, boiling state before cooling into ordinary ...

Smaller than an atom, but majorly important: introducing the quark! Quarks helped make sense of particle physics, and we'll tell you all about it in this new episode of SciShow! Hosted by: Stefan Chin ...

Hints of a new fundamental interaction are starting to look less like statistical ghosts and more like a pattern that refuses ...

Ninety million times a year, when protons crash together at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), they produce, in their wreckage, a top quark and an anti-top quark, the heaviest known elementary particles ...

Every time two beams of particles collide inside an accelerator, the universe lets us in on a little secret. Sometimes it's a particle no one has ever seen. Other times, it's a fleeting glimpse of ...

I’m lucky to learn firsthand about some of the world’s most cutting-edge technologies. I’ve seen artificial intelligence ace an AP biology test, long before AI became an everyday tool. I’ve seen ...

Did you know that, in physics, we have beauty factories? This has nothing to do with art or glamour. Instead, I am talking about experiments where electrons and their antimatter counterparts, ...

The Standard Model, depicting the fundamental building blocks of the universe, including top quarks. Courtesy of Cush via Wikimedia Commons Sitong An, a physicist at Carnegie Mellon University, has ...

The universe's matter-antimatter asymmetry, where matter significantly outweighs antimatter despite their theoretically equal creation at the Big Bang, remains a major unsolved problem in physics.

A team of young scientists paused their new physics searches to develop an innovative machine-learning tool, which is now helping them narrow in on a rare and messy decay of the Higgs boson. Physicist ...

Mary K. Gaillard was 16 and still known as Mary Ralph when a boy in her neighborhood asked her what she wanted to do with her life. She told him that she wanted to be a physicist. “A singularly ...
