But this may not be the end of the story.

The most remote particle detector on Earth has detected the most energetic antimatter neutrino ever, confirming a 51-year-old prediction.

Scientists have spotted the first evidence of a rare Higgs boson decay, expanding our understanding of the strange quantum universe.

When the plasma of the Van Allen belts drops in density during a solar storm, it can set up the perfect conditions for electrons to travel nearly as fast as light.

A weird, super-powerful particle that's not truly a particle could have dominated the universe when it was just a second old, releasing a flood of ripples that permeated all of space-time.

Particles called axions may be the reason the 'Magnificent 7' cluster of neutron stars emits extreme X-rays.

If the Higgs boson really is decaying into pairs of muons in the Large Hadron Collider, that's a big deal for particle physics.

Researchers have found a way to trap and study elusive particle trios called trions at room temperature.

Two experiments hunting for a whisper of a particle called a dark boson that prevents whole galaxies from flying apart recently published some contradictory results.
