The finding could also open the door to the discovery of new particles.
New results resolve the long-standing anomaly of the muon’s magnetic moment – and may offer hints about the nature of dark matter.
The proposed Future Circular Collider could answer questions about the nature of the universe – and have practical benefits along the way.
The ATLAS experiment has found quantum entanglement in yet another system: quarks at high energies.
The latest results from the LZ dark matter experiment have drawn a blank – but the elusive particles are running out of places to hide.
Neutron stars contain some of the universe’s most exotic states of matter – but there’s no easy way to peek inside.
An exciting new experiment is being set up at Yale university in the US.
The US, Europe and China are all planning particle colliders that would study the Higgs boson.
During a walk in the Scottish Highlands, one of the greats of particle physics had the idea of a lifetime
A new measurement of gravity at small scales hints at an alternative to billion-dollar experiments for the future of physics.
Physicists uncovered a new experiment hidden in old data from the Large Hadron Collider. Using this innovative approach, the team has unlocked an entirely new way to study quantum physics.
New measurement of wobbling muons back up previous findings – potentially challenging the Standard Model of Particle Physics.
Good questions guide good science, but that doesn’t mean we know where we’ll end up.
For decades physicists have argued over the nature of the elusive dark matter that pervades the Universe. A clever new study uses gravitational lensing to bring new evidence to the debate.
Recent discoveries have led to an alphabet soup of particles.
Studying the properties of the Higgs boson could throw up some shocking truths about the nature of reality.
A series of thrilling research means physicists may have to start inventing brand new physics.
A decadelong experiment produced the most accurate measurement yet of the mass of W bosons. These particles are responsible for the weak force, and the result is more evidence for undiscovered physics.
Physicists know a lot about the most fundamental properties of the universe, but they certainly don’t know everything. 2021 was a big year for physics – what was learned and what’s coming next?
