In 1992, three physicists began an argument about how many numbers we need to fully describe the universe. Their surprisingly ...

Physicists are eyeing charged gravitinos—ultra-heavy, stable particles from supergravity theory—as possible Dark Matter candidates. Unlike axions or WIMPs, these particles carry electric charge but ...

The Higgs boson self-coupling is a phenomenon where the Higgs interacts with itself, which can manifest in particle collisions at the CERN LHC through the production of Higgs boson pairs. This ...

The Nobel Prize is considered the "Mount Everest of science." But it faces criticism over how winners are chosen, and may ...

A new LHCb analysis confirms a previously observed tension with the Standard Model, but more data and improved theoretical calculations are needed to determine whether new physics is at play.

When two neutron stars collide, they unleash some of the most powerful forces in the universe, creating ripples in spacetime, showers of radiation, and even the building blocks of gold and platinum.

With survey operations set to begin this fall, the Rubin control room at SLAC will serve as a key hub for training and remote observing support for the NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory. All eyes are ...

Relativistic electron-positron plasmas are ubiquitous in extreme astrophysical environments such as black-hole and neutron-star magnetospheres, where accretion-powered jets and pulsar winds are ...

Hypothetical particles called axions have been sought by physicists for decades, as they are the leading candidate for what makes up dark matter. But we may not need new experiments to find exotic ...

As the name suggests, particle accelerators involve accelerating subatomic particles to incredibly high speeds and smashing them into tiny targets. Particle accelerators, also known as particle ...

Cadillac has found its confidence again. Look, it’s been real easy for journalists—this one included—to wax lyrical about the brand’s performance models. Blackwings CT4-V and CT5-V? Exquisite, more ...
