How did the universe come into being? There are a multitude of theories on this subject. In a Physical Review Letters paper, ...

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 ...

Modern multiverse fiction incorporates real physics equations and string theory principles rather than relying on pure ...

Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in physics: string theory. This rare particle—never seen before and predicted not ...

Deep in the core of most galaxies, hidden by spinning clouds of gas and dust, black holes spin like cosmic engines. These giants — some are billions of times heavier than our sun — can shoot out ...

It is once again stocky particle spring. You might recall that, one year ago, researchers at Fermilab announced the discovery of a fat wobbly muon. Now, they have another offering for us: a boson with ...

Before the Ancient Romans, it was the Ancient Greeks who colonized Naples, leaving behind traces of life, and death, inside ancient burial chambers, she says. She points a flashlight at a stone-relief ...

It’s the rarest particle decay ever discovered. Scientists have clinched the case for a special type of decay of subatomic particles called kaons. Further study of the rare decay could reveal a ...

A mysterious glow at the center of the Milky Way has puzzled astronomers for more than a decade. New research offers an ...
