With additional data, researchers can test whether the finding continues to grow in significance or fades away. LZ has ...

Neutrinos are elementary particles that behave in ways that the standard theories of physics cannot properly explain. Anca Tureanu, the new professor of theoretical particle physics at the University ...

WASHINGTON — A new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine presents an ambitious and comprehensive long-term vision for the field of particle physics to further our ...

The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment recorded a rare particle interaction that could signal WIMP dark matter, presenting new clues ...

Two independent lines of evidence from the world’s most powerful particle experiments are converging on the same uncomfortable conclusion: something is producing signals that the Standard Model of ...

Elementary particle physics reflects the human quest to understand the basic building blocks of nature and the rules that govern the physical world. This quest has led not only to critical scientific ...

Magnetic confinement fusion is based on the fact that ions and electrons cannot easily travel across a magnetic field. Therefore, hot plasma can be confined by strong magnetic fields. This approach is ...

A “muon shot” aims to study the basic forces of the cosmos. But meager federal budgets could limit its ambitions. By Dennis Overbye and Katrina Miller Friday, Dec. 8: This story was updated to include ...
