They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...

A surprising and rare particle decay has left scientists puzzled as kaons, particles made up of quarks, are decaying in ways ...

Why did this particle mysteriously disintegrate?

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.

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

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

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider , the largest particle collider in the United States, collided its last particles in early February. RHIC is a massive accelerator ring and set ...

"We have long treated the Planck scale like a blurry limit," said Kulkarni. "But if you treat space as an information storage medium, geometry dictates a specific packing efficiency. The universe has ...

A team of researchers argue that the detection of a powerful neutrino collision was actually a sign of an ancient black hole exploding.

After 25 years, Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider—the U.S.’s largest particle collider—has ...

Complementing this exploration of historical gravity is the UK premiere of Sarah Ruhl’s Stage Kiss, directed by Blanche McIntyre. While tonally distinct from Frayn’s nuclear drama, Ruhl’s work engages ...

In 2023, physicists detected something that should not have existed: a single subatomic particle called a neutrino carrying an almost unimaginable amount of energy. This particle slammed into Earth ...
