"Precision in these measurements is critical, as even subtle discrepancies could signal deviations from the model — ...

For three decades, a riddle has followed neutrinos, the near-weightless particles that stream through Earth by the trillions ...

In 1956, theoretical physicist David Pines predicted that electrons in a solid can do something strange. While they normally have a mass and an electric charge, Pines asserted that they can combine to ...

Neutrinos slip through your body by the trillions each second. They rarely hit anything. They barely seem to exist. Yet a sprawling underground experiment in southern China has just shown that these ...

Although its existence had been theorized for decades, the Higgs boson was finally observed to exist in 2012 at the Large ...

Scientists have finally found a “demon” subatomic particle that was predicted to exist nearly seven decades ago and speculated to play an important role in the behaviours of a range of metals and ...

Weyl fermions, first theorised 85 years ago, could facilitate the free and efficient flow of electricity, potentially allowing electronic devices of the future to be even more powerful . An ...

The fact that particles have mass is something most people take for granted. But what actually gives particles mass? Professor of Physics Gerry Guralnik thinks he knows the answer, but researchers are ...

Originally proposed by the mathematician and physicist Hermann Weyl in 1929, Weyl fermions have captivated scientists because they have been thought to be possible building blocks of other subatomic ...

Physicists at the world's largest atom smasher announced today (July 4) that they are more than 99 percent sure they've found a new, and heavy, boson particle, that may be the Higgs boson. Two ...
