Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in ...

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

The masses of fundamental particles such as the Z and W bosons could have arisen from the twisted geometry of hidden ...

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

Noncommutative geometry offers a radical reformulation of traditional geometrical concepts by replacing the classical notion of a manifold with a noncommutative algebra of coordinates. This approach ...

Red lines show the disintegration of a B-sub-s into two muons in the CMS camera at the Large Hadron Collider. Yello, green and blue are used to denote particles other than muons. Purdue University ...

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

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

The standard model of particle physics is often illustrated as a simple grid showing the 17 basic particles (shown above). But an alternative way of visualising it reveals the complex rules that ...

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