Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

Two ghostlike particles, neutrinos and photons, are emerging as unlikely combatants in a quiet revolution in physics. New ...

Once a surprise to physicists, these particles are useful tools inside and outside the realm of particle physics.

The particle in question, known as a sterile neutrino, was supposed to only interact with gravity and have zero interactions ...

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in equations rather than explained from first principles. A new proposal argues that ...

New results from the MicroBooNE experiment rule out the existence of a sterile neutrino, reshaping how scientists think about ...

You can't see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us.

On 7 November 2025, the Austrian Academy of Sciences inaugurated the Marietta Blau Institute for Particle Physics.

An analysis of several experiments aimed at detecting the mysterious neutrino has identified a hint of a crack in the ...

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of ...
