Exotic spin-dependent interactions represent a promising avenue for probing physics beyond the Standard Model. These interactions, hypothesised to be mediated by new light bosons, couple to the ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Superconductivity occurs when electrical current moves without resistance, a phenomenon that gave rise to particle accelerators, magnetic resonance imagining machines and trains ...

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 ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

Dark matter remains one of the biggest mysteries in fundamental physics. Many theoretical proposals (axions, WIMPs) and 40 years of extensive experimental searches have failed to provide any ...

When trying to answer questions as deep as “what makes up the universe,” advance planning is key. On June 11, the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine announced the result of a ...

China’s decision to halt work on what was meant to be the world’s largest particle accelerator has reshaped the global race to probe the Higgs boson and the fabric of the universe. Instead of ...
