Physicists are eyeing charged gravitinos—ultra-heavy, stable particles from supergravity theory—as possible Dark Matter ...

Physicists have measured an extremely rare particle decay inside the world's largest atom smasher — a discovery that bolsters the leading model of particle physics and leaves little room for ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. One of the biggest questions in particle physics is whether the ...

One of the most enduring mysteries of particle physics may be finally resolved, two new studies suggest. The oddities of muons, subatomic particles that are relatives of electrons, are starting to ...

What if the universe remembers? A bold new framework proposes that spacetime acts as a quantum memory. For over a hundred ...

According to Alfred Nobel's will, the Nobel Prize in Physics was to go to "the person who shall have made the most important ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. When it comes to understanding the fabric of the universe, most of what scientists think exists is consigned to a dark, murky domain.

The discovery honored with this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics takes phenomena observed in the subatomic world—the ...

Quantum entanglement occurs when two subatomic particles become linked in such a way that their properties remain connected, no matter how far apart they are. A change to one particle seems to ...

He was a co-winner of the 2006 Nobel Prize for physics for finding the background radiation that finally pinned down the Big ...

A rift runs deep through the heart of physics. The general theory of relativity, which describes gravity, clashes with quantum physics. In an effort to seal that physics fissure, untold numbers of ...
