Restricting a strange class of particles known as anyons to one dimension could force them into adopting one of two new forms, models suggest, hinting at new fundamental interactions in particle ...

Exotic spin-dependent interactions represent a promising avenue for probing physics beyond the Standard Model. These interactions, hypothesised to be mediated by new light bosons, couple to the ...

What is meant, when an experiment anticipates less than a quarter of an event, and four are registered by the detector? That number discrepancy lies at the heart of a new conundrum of kaons: ...

Two independent lines of evidence from the world’s most powerful particle experiments are converging on the same ...

After a decade-long analysis, a collaboration of physicists has made the most precise measurement of the mass of a key particle – and it may unravel physics as we know it. The new measurement differs ...

Picture a particle physicist. What do they look like as they do their research? There's a certain popular image of what a scientist looks like while they make their discoveries, according to Dr.

A team of scientists finds a way to evaluate highly complex Feynman integrals. How does the world look like at the smallest scales? This is a question scientists are trying to answer in particle ...

NPR's Ayesha Rascoe speaks to Esra Barlas Yücel, a researcher at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, about Fermilab's most precise measurements of the muon particle's magnetic wobble. It's ...

For the past half century or so, a theory known by the understated name of the Standard Model has dominated the field of particle physics. This theory provides us with a detailed description of the 17 ...
