The Pauli exclusion principle is a cornerstone of the Standard Model of particle physics and is essential for the structure ...

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 ...

The idea that empty space is truly empty has been quietly dying for decades, but new measurements of particle spin are now forcing the issue. By tracking how tiny fragments of matter emerge with ...

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 ...

Neutrinos are one of the most elusive and omnipresent particles in the universe. Their strange properties may explain why the amounts of matter and antimatter in our universe aren’t equal, as most ...

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

Scientists have just slashed the potential hiding spaces for dark matter particles. The LUX-ZEPLIN, or LZ, experiment has searched for and ruled out the existence of dark matter particles with a wide ...

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 ...

On Wednesday (Sept. 27) morning, an international team of physicists reported a major finding about an elusive form of matter known as antimatter. It appears that antimatter responds to gravity the ...

A phase change in the early universe and particles called HYPERs could make dark matter detectable in future experiments. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

The neutrino “fog” is beginning to materialize. Lightweight subatomic particles called neutrinos have begun elbowing their way into the data of experiments not designed to spot them. Two experiments, ...
