A new theory suggests the universe’s greatest secrets are hiding in a “zeptouniverse” that’s ready to be explored—without ...

After years of confusion, a new study confirms the proton is tinier than once thought. That enables a test of the standard model of particle physics.

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 ...

To reach this conclusion, the researchers examined the most basic form of entanglement between identical particles using the concept of nonlocality introduced by physicist John Bell. While ...

Physicists are closing in on a strange, hidden influence that does not fit neatly into the four familiar forces of nature, ...

University of Chicago scientists have solved a 20-year-old puzzle in particle physics using data from an experiment conducted for an entirely different purpose. Physicists had long known that ...

To learn more about the nature of matter, energy, space, and time, physicists smash high-energy particles together in large accelerator machines, creating sprays of millions of particles per second of ...

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 ...

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 ...
