The particle in question, known as a sterile neutrino, was supposed to only interact with gravity and have zero interactions ...

Scientists at Fermilab’s MicroBooNE experiment have ruled out the existence of the elusive sterile neutrino, a particle proposed for decades to explain puzzling neutrino behavior. Their high-precision ...

A unified theory – that explains the interactions in the standard model of particle physics from one common origin – has been ...

You can't see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us.

Physicists are exploring whether hidden dimensions and the shape of space could help explain why fundamental particles have ...

New results from the MicroBooNE experiment rule out the existence of a sterile neutrino, reshaping how scientists think about ...

Inside the Large Hadron Collider, protons slam together at nearly the speed of light, creating a brief fireball of quarks and ...

Particle and nuclear physics evokes evokes images of huge accelerators probing the extremes of matter. But in this round-up of my favourite research of 2025 I have chosen five stories in which ...

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are conducting a study to assess key science questions that will drive research in the field of elementary particle physics for the next ...

In 1963, Maria Goeppert Mayer won the Nobel Prize in physics for describing the layered, shell-like structures of atomic nuclei. No woman has won since. One of the many women who, in a different world ...
