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

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

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

An analysis of several experiments aimed at detecting the mysterious neutrino has identified a hint of a crack in the ...

Particle and nuclear physics evokes evokes images of huge accelerators probing the extremes of matter. But in this round-up ...

Yesterday, we presented a comprehensive guide to the world of subatomic particles, exploring all the known elementary and composite particles. But now it’s time to put certainty to one side and ...

The theorized unseen structure of spacetime could also explain of the outstanding questions about the accelerating expansion ...

It’s a fundamental principle of physics that particles with opposite charges attract each other, while those with the same charge repel. But now, scientists at the University of Oxford have found that ...

Forgetting feels like a failure of attention, but physics treats it as a fundamental process with a measurable price. At the ...

The fundamental nature of living things challenges assumptions that physicists have held for centuries.

New research shows the way soccer players move about the field bears similarities to the manner in which particles behave under the chaotic conditions of turbulence. This discovery is one of the many ...
