A neglected force produced by neutrinos and other particles helps atomic physics measurements align with predictions of the ...

From new medicines to cancer treatment, the tools of particle physics play an important role in hospitals around the world. The same particle-physics technology used to understand the universe is also ...

Particle physics has revolutionized the way we look at the universe. Along the way, it’s made significant impacts on other fields of science, improved daily life for people around the world and ...

Artist’s illustration of the extremely energetic cosmic ray observed by a surface detector array of the Telescope Array experiment, named “Amaterasu particle.” In 1991, the University of Utah Fly’s ...

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A powerful new particle accelerator that could be set up at Fermilab, a telescope to observe the oldest light in the universe, and research to learn more about mysteries such as dark ...

Recently, I watched a fellow particle physicist talk about a calculation he had pushed to a new height of precision. His tool? A 1980s-era computer program called FORM. Particle physicists use some of ...

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 ...

I'm giving the final exam in my intro course today, then going directly to the airport to fly to Ohio for the annual meeting of the Division of Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics (DAMOP, ...

The amplituhedron, a shape at the heart of particle physics, appears to be deeply connected to the mathematics of paper folding. Every elementary particle falls into one of two categories.

Experimenting in the world of particle physics probably brings to mind large, expensive pieces of equipment like particle accelerators, or at least exotic elements or isotopes that most of us can’t ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though quantum physics says their exact position is fundamentally uncertain. Now, ...
