The most direct experiment humans have ever designed to answer why the universe is made of matter — rather than equal amounts of matter and antimatter that would have annihilated each other — is being ...

The mysterious substance that binds galaxies together could naturally be 'in tune' with a hidden fifth dimension, according to a new theory aiming to shed light on one of science's biggest enigmas: ...

The vortex theory of matter, why every atom might be a knot in a field For 2600 years, every attempt to find the smallest piece of matter dissolved into something stranger, not particles, but fields ...

The standard model of particle physics may be due for a philosophical remodel, including rethinking what qualifies each of its particles to count as a particle to begin with. Whether a particle is ...

After decades of hunting, physicists still don’t know what makes up most of the universe’s matter. Now they need to cast a wider net. Underneath an Apennine massif, below the Jinping Mountains of ...

Researchers propose that extra-dimensional spacetime torsion prevents black holes from fully evaporating, leaving remnants that preserve quantum information. Credit: SciTechDaily.com A new theoretical ...

Scientists working at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider may be seeing the strongest hints yet of physics beyond the Standard Model — the decades-old theory that explains the fundamental particles and ...

New research suggests that relic black holes from before the big bang may still shape galaxies today. These black holes could explain dark matter, one of the biggest unsolved questions in cosmology.

Researchers at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland have announced that they discovered a new subatomic particle. Roughly four times more massive than a standard proton, this short-lived piece of ...
