Possible interactions between dark matter and neutrinos may help explain a persistent mismatch in how cosmic structure evolved.

A new quantum theory bridges two rival models of how impurities behave inside many-particle systems, resolving a problem that has challenged physicists for decades. The findings could reshape ...

Italgas leads the EU-backed TITAN demo to convert biogas into renewable hydrogen and solid carbon, testing a circular model ...

After decades of debate, the scientific case is clear for Europe’s Future Circular Collider, a colossal successor to the ...

Every time I write about particle physics, I encounter a moment of uncertainty about a quantity that, at first glance, ought to be clear. How many kinds of elementary particles should I say there are?

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. An engineer works on equipment for the LHCb experiment inside the tunnel of the Large Hadron Collider. (Francis ...

Physicists know that their elegant theoretical description of forces and particles — the standard model of particle physics — must be incomplete, because there are a host of phenomena it cannot ...

A pair of rare particles produced in high-energy proton collisions may be the clearest evidence yet that mass can emerge from empty space. The finding could shed light on one of the biggest puzzles in ...

The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than others. Reading time 5 minutes For all practical purposes, the Standard ...

When you drill down into the very fabric of reality—where elementary particles make up the matter that is you and me and everything around us in three-dimensional space—things get divided nicely into ...

Just about every modern electric vehicle on American roads is powered by one of three battery types: lithium-iron phosphate (the most common, also known as LFP), nickel-manganese cobalt (NMC), and ...

For over a decade, confusion over the size of the proton has held scientists back. Disagreeing measurements of the subatomic particle’s radius meant that scientists couldn’t test one of their key ...
