Latest about Particle Physics
'Ghostly' neutrinos spotted inside the world's largest particle accelerator for the first time
Signatures of neutrinos, or ghostly particles that rarely interact with others, were tentatively spotted in the Large Hadron Collider in 2021. Now, physicists have confirmed they are real.
Atomic Clock Is So Precise It Won't Lose a Second for 15 Billion Years
The most precise clock ever made could hold time accurately for the entire age of the universe.
Plasma Waves Studied for New Electronics
Bill Stillman leaves a long career as an engineer to go back to school and learn a new field.
Higgs Boson Confirms Reigning Physics Model Yet Again
The Higgs boson decays into matter-carrying particles known as tau leptons, yet another confirmation of the standard model of physics.
Misbehaving Particles Poke Holes in Reigning Physics Theory
Physicists at the BaBar experiment have seen evidence pointing to a hole in the Standard Model of physics.
Bizarre Particles Keep Flying Out of Antarctica's Ice, and They Might Shatter Modern Physics
There's something out there that physicists have never seen before, and it's coming up from the bottom of the Earth. Scientists think it's a brand-new particle.
Oddly heavy particle may have just broken the reigning model of particle physics
An ultraprecise measurement of the mass of the W boson may diverge from the Standard Model, a long-reigning framework that governs the strange world of quantum physics.
