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

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of ...

The Standard Model of particle physics does a decent enough job of explaining the universe, but it still has some holes in it. Now, a new study outlines how one hypothetical particle, the axion, may ...

Physicists were left with more questions than answers this week after returning empty-handed following a painstaking search for an elusive theoretical particle called a sterile neutrino. The results ...

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 ...

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are conducting a study to assess key science questions that will drive research in the field of elementary particle physics for the next ...

The handheld particle detector CosmicWatch is roughly the size of a box of animal crackers. Every time a muon passes through ...

You can't see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us.

New results from the MicroBooNE experiment rule out the existence of a sterile neutrino, reshaping how scientists think about ...

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

China’s decision to halt work on what was meant to be the world’s largest particle accelerator marked a sharp turn in the ...

The Theoretical Advanced Study Institute in Elementary Particle Physics (TASI) recently concluded its 40th year, bringing 65 students from around the world to Boulder to delve into the “Frontiers of ...
