Scientists have inched a step closer to solving an enduring mystery in physics — why the universe contains any matter at all — thanks to a newly combined analysis from two of the world's leading ...

Physicists have shown that, like everything else experiencing gravity, antimatter falls downwards when dropped. This outcome is not surprising — a difference in the gravitational behaviour of matter ...

"When my student showed me the data I thought she must be wrong," Boston College professor and lead researcher Kenneth Burch told Live Science. "It's not every day you find a new particle sitting on ...

Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

As a central hub for scientific exploration, CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is dedicated to probing the enigmatic particles that could potentially elucidate the mystery of dark ...

Just after the Tevatron collider at Fermilab in Illinois released its results, the Large Hadron Collider’s (LHC) ATLAS and CMS experiment teams presented their latest preliminary results in the search ...

After years of careful investigation, researchers working on the Micro Booster Neutrino Experiment (MicroBooNE) have determined that a ...

If dark matter is made from "dark" versions of the basic building blocks of ordinary matter, the world's largest particle accelerator should be able to pin it down, a new study suggests. When you ...
