For decades physicists have argued over the nature of the elusive dark matter that pervades the Universe. A clever new study uses gravitational lensing to bring new evidence to the debate.
Recent discoveries have led to an alphabet soup of particles.
Studying the properties of the Higgs boson could throw up some shocking truths about the nature of reality.
A series of thrilling research means physicists may have to start inventing brand new physics.
A new result from the MicroBooNE neutrino experiment has dashed hopes for a neat resolution to several puzzles for physicists.
Particle physicists might be on the brink of a major breakthrough.
Record precision measurements at Cern may help explain why the universe has more matter than antimatter.
For 15 years, there has been a mismatch in physics. A particle called the muon wasn’t behaving the way theory predicted it should. A new theory and new experiment might solve this problem.
New particles or forces may exist that aren’t accounted for in the standard model.
A transcript of episode 9 of The Conversation Weekly podcast, including an update on the situation for Rohingya refugees in Myanmar living in camps in Bangladesh.
Plus why the situation for Rohingya Muslims living in Bangladesh has gone from bad to worse. Listen to episode 9 of The Conversation Weekly podcast.
A long-sought crack in the Standard Model of particle physics may have been spotted.
If the finding really is the result of new fundamental particles then it will finally be the breakthrough that physicists have been yearning for for decades.
The theory of tiny particles isn’t complete. But new discoveries are helping scientists expand it.
The compact accelerators are 100 times smaller than traditional ones, and could easily fit inside hospitals and laboratories.
New physics may be needed to explain why there’s more matter than antimatter in the universe.
If we want an improved theory of particle physics, understanding neutrino masses is key.
The LHCb experiment at CERN has discovered three new ‘pentaquark’ particles being created in high energy particle collisions at the Large Hadron Collider.
A new collider at CERN could push particle physics deep into an unexplored microscopic realm.
