Just after the Tevatron collider at Fermilab in Illinois released its results, the Large Hadron Collider’s (LHC) ATLAS and CMS experiment teams presented their latest preliminary results in the search ...

After years of searching, scientists at the Micro Booster Neutrino Experiment have ruled out the possibility of the existence of a sterile neutrino.

To learn more about the nature of matter, energy, space, and time, physicists smash high-energy particles together in large accelerator machines, creating sprays of millions of particles per second of ...

THE STANDARD MODEL of particle physics—completed in 1973—is the jewel in the crown of modern physics. It predicts the properties of elementary particles and forces with mind-boggling accuracy. Take ...

The W boson is heftier than anyone expected. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. An ultraprecise measurement of the mass of a ...

After a decade-long analysis, a collaboration of physicists has made the most precise measurement of the mass of a key particle – and it may unravel physics as we know it. The new measurement differs ...

Results from a major Fermilab experiment have found no evidence for the elusive sterile neutrino, narrowing one of particle physics’ most debated mysteries.

From its resting place outside Chicago, Illinois, a long-defunct experiment is threatening to throw the field of elementary particles off balance. Physicists have toiled for ten years to squeeze a ...

After a decade at Fermilab, scientists found no evidence for the sterile neutrino. MicroBooNE ruled it out with 95% certainty ...

Researechers are testing superconducting microwire single-photon detectors (SMSPDs) for use in future particle physics exepriments. The detectors, which were designed and fabricated at JPL and ...
