Our universe is dominated by a mysterious matter known as dark matter. Its name comes from the fact that dark matter does not absorb, reflect or emit electromagnetic radiation, making it difficult to ...

I keep coming back to a strange idea: what if everything we know about quantum physics is already encoded inside a single atom? Not in a mystical sense, but in the very real way that one tiny system ...

In September 2024, physicists made a discovery at CERN that could change how we understand the universe. For the first time, ...

Collaborative experiments focus on uncovering the unusual properties of the ghost particle. In a recent study, physicists have created the clearest and most detailed view so far of how neutrinos shift ...

A physicist, a composer and a creative technician team up to translate the unseen particles around us into a format that human bodies can understand. During his postdoc, particle physicist Teppei ...

They're tiny, invisible, and travel across the universe. And trillions of them just flew through your body. What are they? Neutrinos ‒ and scientists Wednesday announced the discovery of the most ...

The NHTI Film Society will screen “Particle Fever,” about particle physics and the Hadron collider in Switzerland, at 7 p.m. Friday in the Sweeney Auditorium on the Concord campus. The documentary ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that has long posed a problem: According to physicists’ best current ...
