Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

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 ...

After years of careful investigation, researchers working on the Micro Booster Neutrino Experiment (MicroBooNE) have determined that a ...

No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...

Scientists have made a particle physics discovery that they say could mean nothing less than the upheaval of our entire model of the building blocks of the universe—if their results can be ...

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 ...

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have used computer simulations to model how a composite material reacts to loading. They studied a particle model of a pillar of stiffer ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. One of the biggest questions in particle physics is whether the ...

As well as particle physics, neutrinos touch astroparticle physics, cosmology, astrophysics, nuclear physics and geophysics, ...
