Researchers at South Dakota Mines have completed the first measurement of a rare particle interaction that could help ...

This week, CERN announced that it has detected a new particle at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) called the Xi-cc-plus. It's ...

Neutrinos are extremely lightweight and electrically neutral particles that rarely interact with ordinary matter. Due to ...

An international collaboration, including Northwestern University, has reached a critical milestone in the search for dark matter, the mysterious substance that makes up about 85% of all matter in the ...

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 ...

The LHCb collaboration at CERN has confirmed the observation of an ultra-rare particle decay that has puzzled physicists for roughly two decades. The decay, in which a sigma-plus hyperon transforms ...

Over a century ago, Ernest Rutherford discovered the proton by splitting the atom in a laboratory in Manchester. Today, researchers based in Manchester have discovered a new particle that Rutherford ...

A new surprising result from digging in Fermilab archives could help scientists uncover new laws of physics and solve mysteries such as the nature of dark matter. In a new study appearing in the April ...

From an image of a detector hunting for signs of dark matter to a picture of a deep-sea neutrino telescope studying astrophysical phenomena, the winning entries for the 2025 Global Physics Photowalk ...

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.
