For more than a decade, physicists in the United States have been chasing what came to be known as a “ghost particle” — the sterile neutrino. It was a hypothetical addition to the Standard Model of ...

All experiments broke records in the final full operating year of the third run of the LHC. All four LHC experiments performed extremely well throughout the 2025 proton run, detecting more collisions ...

"Learn how to simulate elastic collisions using Python in this hands-on physics tutorial! In this video, we’ll walk through the code to model collisions between two objects, showing how to apply the ...

A NASA telescope may have detected evidence of dark matter, enabling it to be “‘seen” for the first time. Since dark matter was conceptualized nearly 100 years ago by Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky, ...

The amplituhedron is a geometric shape with an almost mystical quality: Compute its volume, and you get the answer to a central calculation in physics about how particles interact. Now, a young ...

Physicists from the University of Copenhagen have begun using the gigantic magnetic fields of galaxy clusters to observe distant black holes in their search for an elusive particle that has stumped ...

Measurements at the Large Hadron Collider have been stymied by one of the most central phenomena of the quantum world. But now, a young researcher has championed a new method to solve the problem ...

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 ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. After her adventures in Wonderland, the fictional Alice stepped through the mirror above her fireplace in Lewis Carroll’s 1871 novel ...

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking 'Hybrid Supraparticle Synthesis Technology' that attaches inorganic nanoparticles to the surface of polymer microparticles through simple mechanical ...
