Particle Physics

Particles called axions may be the reason the 'Magnificent 7' cluster of neutron stars emits extreme X-rays.

If the Higgs boson really is decaying into pairs of muons in the Large Hadron Collider, that's a big deal for particle physics.

Researchers have found a way to trap and study elusive particle trios called trions at room temperature.

Two experiments hunting for a whisper of a particle called a dark boson that prevents whole galaxies from flying apart recently published some contradictory results.

A new experiment on ultra-rare astatine could open the door to cancer treatments and new research into super-heavy atoms.

The world's largest atom smasher has "given birth" to a set of four ultraheavy particles — called top quarks.

A physicist proposes that the moon is a great place to build a particle collider and conduct high-energy physics experiments.

What if one of the strangest, most unsettling findings in particle physics turned out to be an illusion? A new study suggest a simple physical explanation for a mysterious event.
