Physics has a bit of a messy problem: There's matter missing in our universe. Something is there that we can't see, but scientists can detect. "When we look at how stars move in galaxies, they move as ...

The elusive Higgs particle has the power to undo physics as we know it. The fact that it hasn't could have big implications about the nature of the universe. When you purchase through links on our ...

As a physicist working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, one of the most frequent questions I am asked is, “When are you going to find something?” Resisting the temptation to sarcastically ...

The Large Hadron Collider hasn’t seen any new particles since the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012. Here’s what researchers are trying to do about it. In 1977, Ray and Charles Eames released a ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: For nearly a century, the magnetic anomaly of the fundamental particle known as a muon has served as a means to test theories against experimental ...

How did the universe come into being? There are a multitude of theories on this subject. In a Physical Review Letters paper, ...

NPR's Ayesha Rascoe speaks to Esra Barlas Yücel, a researcher at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, about Fermilab's most precise measurements of the muon particle's magnetic wobble. It's ...

The model we have for understanding the universe’s fundamental particles is a bit like a gearbox: one tiny change to any one single particles’ properties throws off the mechanics of the other ...

Scientists at CERN, the home of the Large Hadron Collider, have just observed an astoundingly rare phenomenon at the subatomic level that could lead to a new understanding of the standard model of ...
