The theorized unseen structure of spacetime could also explain of the outstanding questions about the accelerating expansion ...

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in ...

The rapid acceleration of the universe’s expansion continues to challenge our understanding of fundamental physics. Why the ...

The particle in question, known as a sterile neutrino, was supposed to only interact with gravity and have zero interactions ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

Physicists are exploring whether hidden dimensions and the shape of space could help explain why fundamental particles have ...

A new study takes the GHZ paradox, which describes how quantum theory can't be described by local realistic descriptions, to ...

Spencer Axani, assistant professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, is the inventor of CosmicWatch, a portable, low-cost particle detector that tracks muons, invisible particles that ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

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 ...

The Standard Model. What a dull name for the most accurate scientific theory known to human beings. More than a quarter of the Nobel Prizes in physics of the last century are direct inputs to or ...

Jason Bono was one of the researchers behind a major scientific moment — when tiny particles unexpectedly unraveled one of the most important and successful theories in physics. Bono, who earned his ...
