Experts believe the universe may have a built-in 'self-destruct button' called false vacuum decay which could destroy the ...

The cutting-edge elementary particle observation facility here where it is hoped proton decay will be observed for the first ...

Unusual radio waves were discovered below the surface of Antarctica over a decade ago, which follow-up studies haven’t been able to find or explain.

But axions were pushed aside as the WIMPs hypothesis gained more steam. Back-of-the-envelope calculations showed that the ...

A festinating new theory shifts focus from space to time, arguing the clock-ticking we take for granted is richer and weirder ...

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general ...

In a nutshell A physicist proposes that time has three dimensions instead of one, which could finally unite quantum mechanics ...

A cosmic particle detector designed to pick up rays from space instead recorded a series of bizarre signals from under the ice. Penn State, whose scientists are part of the international research ...

Neutrinos are known to have tiny masses. A new result proclaims the subatomic particles to be even tinier still. The electrically neutral particles, produced in radioactive decays and in reactions ...

Because they rarely interact with matter and have almost no mass they are often referred to as "ghost particles." The newly discovered neutrino's energy is estimated to be around 30 times higher ...

Since the start of the 20th century, physicists have discovered a veritable zoo of subatomic particles. Matter can be both wave and particle.

Scientists can determine the mass of subatomic particles that are built from quarks by looking at the particles' energy and momentum in four-dimensional spacetime. One of the quantities that ...
