Scientists have taken a major step toward solving a long-standing mystery in particle physics, by finding no sign of the ...

Scientists announced on Wednesday that they have found no evidence for the hypothetical “sterile neutrino,” an extra version ...

Two papers challenged the existence of theorized particles called sterile neutrinos that might account for mysteries like the ...

Neutrinos are tiny subatomic particles that barely interact with matter. They can pass through planets without stopping. The ...

The innovative Celeritas project, led by the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, provides a software tool that makes sure simulations used to analyze particles can run on the fastest ...

Particle physics is the study of the elementary building blocks of matter and radiation and their interaction. The fundamental particles are summarised by the standard model. This includes leptons ...

NASA’s recent detection of unusual signals emerging from Antarctica’s ice sheet has sparked a flurry of questions among the scientific community. These anomalies, detected through advanced ...

Experimental particle physics is the practical investigation of the fundamental components of matter and radiation. A crucial tool in the arsenal of the experimental particle physicist is the particle ...

The Martin A. Fisher School of Physics enjoys an international reputation for excellence in research, and is one of the highest-ranked of its size in the country. The department offers rigorous ...

Dark matter could be the result of fermions pushed into a warped fifth dimension. This theory builds on an idea first stated in 1999, but is unique in its findings. Dark matter makes up 75 percent of ...

Deep underground in southern China, there is a 20,000-ton tank of liquid that can detect neutrinos. Named JUNO, the ...
