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 ...

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

A new study suggests that during a potential phase of primordial matter domination, particle interactions may have led to the formation of the universe’s first compact cosmic objects. Less than a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists recently fired up the world's smallest particle accelerator for the first time. The tiny technological triumph, which is around the size of a small coin, could open the door to a wide range ...
