Ever since physicist Ernest Rutherford discovered the atomic nucleus in 1911, studying its structure and behavior has remained a challenging task. More than a century later, even with today's high-tech tools for researching ...
An international team of physicists has successfully measured the size of a certain type of neutrino to a certain degree. In their paper published in the journal Nature, the group describes experiments they conducted that ...
Antimatter is a fascinating kind of matter made up of antiparticles, which have a mass equivalent to that of their normal matter counterparts, yet they exhibit an opposite charge and distinct quantum properties.
Strange "right-handed" neutrinos may be responsible for all the matter in the universe, according to new research.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) made its groundbreaking discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, but its ancestry can be traced back more than 60 years to the first electron-positron collision experiment in Italy. Named Anello ...
How do you find and measure nuclear particles, like antineutrinos, that travel near the speed of light?
Underneath a granite hill in southern China, a massive detector is nearly complete that will sniff out the mysterious ghost particles lurking around us.
In the Big Bang, matter and antimatter should have been created in equal amounts. But fast forward 13.8 billion years to the present day, and the universe is made almost entirely of matter, so something must have happened ...
Getting places in space quickly has been the goal of propulsion research for a long time. Rockets, our most common means of doing so, are great for providing lots of force but are extraordinarily inefficient. Other options ...
A key objective of many physics studies is to experimentally observe exotic phenomena beyond the Standard Model (SM) that are predicted by theoretical models. These include hidden valley models, which predict the existence ...
