Physicists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have uncovered new hints that certain particle decays may not behave as the ...

A tiny discrepancy in particle physics has loomed for decades as an exciting possible crack in one of science's most successful theories, hinting at unknown forces or quantum objects. Now, an ...

A growing body of theoretical and experimental work in physics is converging on a striking possibility: time, the dimension humans experience as a constant forward flow, may not be a fundamental ...

Physicists have been puzzling over conflicting observational results pertaining to the accelerating expansion rate of our Universe—a major discovery recognized by the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics. New ...

Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The high-energy collisions produce a shower of subatomic fragments that scientists ...

Rochester Institute of Technology will begin offering a new Ph.D. in the fall of 2024 that is designed to prepare graduates to extend the frontiers of fundamental scientific knowledge and develop new ...

NPR's Ayesha Rascoe speaks to Esra Barlas Yücel, a researcher at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, about Fermilab's most precise measurements of the muon particle's magnetic wobble. It's ...
