Neutrinos are very small, neutral subatomic particles that rarely interact with ordinary matter and are thus sometimes ...

Imagine trying to prove that 1+1=2, but when you do the calculations, it turns out that the result is off by 0.1%. That scenario is similar to the riddle that’s facing physicists worldwide as they try ...

The standard model of particle physics represents the most comprehensive theory about fundamental or subatomic particles and forces in the universe. The model describes how matter and antimatter ...

A supercharged neutrino that smashed into our planet in 2023 may have been spit out by an exploding primordial black hole ...

After years of confusion, a new study confirms the proton is tinier than once thought. That enables a test of the standard model of particle physics.
