Scientists study neutrinos produced by nuclear reactors, radioactive decay, particle accelerators, the sun, the Earth, and the cosmos. Credit: Artwork by Sandbox Studio, Chicago with…
Why do certain materials emit electrons with a very specific energy? This has been a mystery for decades — scientists at TU Wien have found…
An artist’s impression of an axion, a hypothetical elementary particle, which has been invoked to explain why charge–parity symmetry is preserved in quantum chromodynamics. They…
The Standard Model includes the matter particles (quarks and leptons), the force carrying particles (bosons), and the Higgs boson. Credit: Artwork courtesy of Sandbox Studio,…
An MIT-led team simulated the behavior of protons and neutrons in several types of atomic nuclei, finding that the formulas describing how atoms behave in…
Credit: N. Hanacek/NIST JILA researchers have used a state-of-the-art atomic clock to narrow the search for elusive dark matter, an example of how continual improvements…
Researchers discover new family of quasiparticles in graphene-based materials. A group of researchers led by Sir Andre Geim and Dr. Alexey Berdyugin at The University…

Nine seconds. An eternity in some scientific experiments; an unimaginably small amount in the grand scheme of the universe. And just long enough to confound…
A laser optical pulse (blue) enters from the left into the hollow-core fiber filled with nitrogen gas (red molecules) and, along propagation, experiences a spectral…
New research from Chalmers and ETH Zürich, Switzerland, suggests a promising way to detect elusive dark matter particles through previously unexplored atomic responses occurring in…
A recent study from the University of Melbourne proposes a new theory for the origin of dark matter, helping experimentalists in Australia and abroad in…
