Latest about Particle Physics
New discovery at CERN could hint at why our universe is made up of matter and not antimatter
A new finding at CERN on the French-Swiss border brings us closer to answering why matter dominates over its opposite, antimatter.
Why scientists are so excited about the highest-energy 'ghost particle' ever seen
Scientists have found a neutrino that could come from a gamma-ray burst, an active black hole or a collision between a cosmic ray and photons in the cosmic microwave background.
How 2024 brought us deeper into the world of particle physics
Dark matter, antimatter, W bosons and neutron lifetimes all feature in our top 10 stories.
The shape of light: Scientists reveal image of an individual photon for 1st time ever
Active volcanoes were erupting on the far side of the moon 2.8 billion years ago, the first lunar samples returned from the far side reveal. 1
Cosmic rays could help assess hidden war damage in Ukraine
Energetic particles that arise when cosmic rays hit Earth’s atmosphere could help assess hidden damage to buildings in Ukraine after the war.
'Hawking radiation' may be erasing black holes. Watching it happen could reveal new physics.
Primordial black holes may be exploding throughout the universe. If we can catch them in the act, it could pave the way to new physics, a study suggests.
Quantum Entanglement: Unlocking the mysteries of particle connections
Reference Quantum entanglement states that two particles are connected and affect one another even if those particles are light-years apart.
The W boson caused a particle mystery — but scientists have cracked the case
A puzzling discrepancy in measurements of the mass of the W+ and W– bosons, which are fundamental particles that carry the weak force, has been resolved by the Large Hadron Collider.
