A major physics experiment has uncovered evidence for a strange new form of matter, where a fleeting particle gets trapped inside a nucleus. This exotic state may reveal how mass is generated, ...
Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in physics: string theory. This rare particle—never seen before and predicted not ...
In February of 2023, the Cubic Kilometer Neutrino Telescope (KM3NeT) detected a neutrino some 35 times higher in energy than any previous detection. A new study posits that this muon might be the ...
An extremely high-energy particle that was spotted tearing through Earth has left scientists flummoxed ever since it was discovered. While many researchers believe the particle was an unusual neutrino ...
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is in the business of discovering new subatomic particles—and business is good. The team at CERN recently announced ...
