Using the world's most powerful particle accelerator, CERN's Large Hadron Collider, scientists have discovered that the ...

A century ago, Erwin Schrödinger came up with an equation that says how the quantum world behaves. Now scientists are asking ...

Scientists announced on Wednesday that they have found no evidence for the hypothetical “sterile neutrino,” an extra version of the ghostly neutrino particles that are ubiquitous in the universe. The ...

Two papers challenged the existence of theorized particles called sterile neutrinos that might account for mysteries like the cosmos’s dark matter. By Kenneth Chang Just how many types of neutrinos ...

Deep underground in southern China, there is a 20,000-ton tank of liquid that can detect neutrinos. Named JUNO, the detector's first results are in — and they're very promising. When you purchase ...

The force we experience most intimately remains the most mysterious. Physicists understand how vast migrations of particles called photons light up our homes, and how swarms of “gluon” particles hold ...

Despite its simplicity, the model is foundational. It is often the first non-trivial system for which students solve the Schrödinger equation exactly, and it beautifully illustrates core quantum ideas ...

The universe’s first moments after the Big Bang were strange beyond imagination. Now physicists have discovered they may have been even weirder than we thought, dominated by enormous, twisted knots of ...

A rotating cylinder with its side cut away to expose the core, showing patches of purple, blue, green, yellow, and orange that are dense in the middle and more diffuse toward the edges. This rotating ...
