Researchers at IPhT (CEA, CNRS) and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona have shown that gravity—and with it, ...

A University of Sydney quantum physicist has developed a new approach to quantum error correction that could significantly ...

Most current models of the Big Bang rely on general relativity along with additional elements that are introduced to make the theory fit observations. In contrast, this new framework provides a more ...

Scientists have used CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to uncover what they say is an entirely new type of particle, dubbed ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Scientists announced on Wednesday that they have found no evidence for the hypothetical “sterile neutrino,” an extra version of ...

A team affiliated with IPhT (CEA/CNRS) in France and the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona argues that, within a standard ...

The hypothetical faster-than-light particle known as the tachyon may marry with the special theory of relativity, according to a team of physicists, making its existence more plausible. Tachyons are a ...

Two independent lines of evidence from the world’s most powerful particle experiments are converging on the same uncomfortable conclusion: something is producing signals that the Standard Model of ...

The muon collider was once dismissed as impossible, but is now gaining steam as the successor to the Large Hadron Collider.

The muon’s mysteries continue to leave physicists spellbound. Last year, an experiment suggested that the elementary particle had inexplicably strong magnetism, possibly breaking a decades-long streak ...

Explore 10 new works related to particle physics and astrophysics, plus a bonus book on math. Symmetry writer Mike Perricone is back again with a round-up of this year’s popular writing related to ...
