A team of young scientists paused their new physics searches to develop an innovative machine-learning tool, which is now ...

For more than two decades, amateur photographer Dale Carter has documented the physicists who come to the Black Hills for ...

Scientists around the world are testing ways to further boost the power of particle accelerators while drastically shrinking their size.

Once the most popular framework for physics beyond the Standard Model, supersymmetry is facing a reckoning—but many researchers are not giving up on it yet.

Scientists don’t yet know what dark matter is made of, but they are full of ideas. Although nearly a century has passed since an astronomer first used the term “dark matter” in the 1930s, the elusive ...

Our best model of particle physics explains only about 5 percent of the universe. The Standard Model is a thing of beauty. It is the most rigorous theory of particle physics, incredibly precise and ...

Yesterday, at the annual Rencontres de Moriond conference taking place in La Thuile, Italy, the LHCb collaboration at CERN reported a new milestone in our understanding of the subtle yet profound ...

Black scientists have played important roles in the history of quantum physics. In this growing area of specialization, there’s an opportunity to continue that legacy.

Neutrinos are notoriously aloof, but it’s not entirely their fault. Neutrinos are some of the most abundant particles in the universe, and they are everywhere. Every second, more than 6 trillion ...

Nearly 75 years after the puzzling first detection of the kaon, scientists are still looking to the particle for hints of physics beyond their current understanding.

One of the latest discoveries from the LHC takes the properties of photons beyond what your electrodynamics teacher will tell you in class.
