No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...

The Standard Model of particle physics does a decent enough job of explaining the universe, but it still has some holes in it. Now, a new study outlines how one hypothetical particle, the axion, may ...

Scientists have uncovered a previously unthinkable state of matter that challenges decades of assumptions about how electrons ...

Particle physics has always proceeded in two ways, of which new particles is one. The other is by making very precise measurements that test the predictions of theories and look for deviations from ...

At TU Wien, researchers have discovered a state in a quantum material that had previously been considered impossible. The ...

Because we haven't found anything yet, we've started to wonder if dark matter might be lighter or heavier than we thought. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

It was predicted four decades ago, but only found now. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Scientists have finally found traces of ...

DEEP UNDER the countryside north of Geneva, straddling the Franco-Swiss border, one of the most advanced scientific machines ever built has been banging subatomic particles together for more than a ...

Dark matter is believed to outnumber regular matter by a ratio of five-to-one, but so far it’s never been directly detected. Now, nuclear physicists at the University of York have proposed a new ...
