Latest about Particle Physics
Scientists tried to solve the mystery of the helium nucleus — and ended up more confused than ever
Helium is the simplest element in the periodic table with more than one particle in its nucleus, yet state of the art theory and experiments on it don't add up.
Exotic new state of matter discovered by squishing subatomic particles into an ultradense crystal
By shining a strong beam of light through two chemical compounds, scientists discovered a unique new state of matter made of particles called excitons.
Gravity can transform into light, mind-bending physics paper suggests
In the early universe, gravity may have been capable of creating light, a new theoretical paper finds.
Scientists create 'slits in time' in mind-bending physics experiment
Researchers replicated the classic double slit experiment using lasers, but their slits are in time not space.
'Ghostly' neutrinos spotted inside the world's largest particle accelerator for the first time
Signatures of neutrinos, or ghostly particles that rarely interact with others, were tentatively spotted in the Large Hadron Collider in 2021. Now, physicists have confirmed they are real.
Atomic Clock Is So Precise It Won't Lose a Second for 15 Billion Years
The most precise clock ever made could hold time accurately for the entire age of the universe.
Plasma Waves Studied for New Electronics
Bill Stillman leaves a long career as an engineer to go back to school and learn a new field.
Higgs Boson Confirms Reigning Physics Model Yet Again
The Higgs boson decays into matter-carrying particles known as tau leptons, yet another confirmation of the standard model of physics.
