Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something particles simply possess, a built-in feature explained by the Higgs ...

A joint effort between two of the world’s largest neutrino experiments has brought scientists closer to understanding how the ...

In the end, the Universe becomes a place where gravity and quantum physics slowly turn all mass into faint streams of particles.

Why does the Universe exist instead of having been annihilated shortly after its birth? This fundamental question in physics ...

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 ...

A new study broadens the horizon of knowledge about how matter behaves under extreme conditions and helps to solve some great unknowns about the origin of the universe. An international team of ...

"Precision in these measurements is critical, as even subtle discrepancies could signal deviations from the model — potentially revealing new physics." ...

"It's astonishing to find such a strong radio signal at this distance." A vast cloud of energetic particles surrounding a cluster of galaxies that existed around four billion years after the Big Bang ...

If you’re having trouble sleeping at night, have you tried to induce total existential dread by contemplating the end of the entire Universe? If not, here’s a rundown of five ideas exploring how “all ...

Forget about turtles; for all practical purposes, it’s really particles all the way down. Consider the seemingly simple matter of their size, the very thing that makes them so alien. We’re typically ...

The epoch of reionization, a period following the cosmic dark ages, marks the transition of the universe's predominantly neutral hydrogen gas to its currently ionized state, driven by the ionizing ...
