New results from the MicroBooNE experiment rule out the existence of a sterile neutrino, reshaping how scientists think about ...
The theorized unseen structure of spacetime could also explain of the outstanding questions about the accelerating expansion ...
Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in ...
Experimental particle physicists working at the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab National Accelerator Laboratory have found ...
Diana Parno’s head swam when she first stepped inside the enormous, metallic vessel of the experiment KATRIN. Within the house-sized, oblong structure, everything was symmetrical, clean and blindingly ...
Physicists are exploring whether hidden dimensions and the shape of space could help explain why fundamental particles have ...
An extensive search for a hypothetical particle has turned up empty. The sterile neutrino is a proposed subatomic particle that could even be a candidate for the mysterious dark matter, and although ...
Preliminary results from two experiments suggest something could be wrong with the basic way physicists think the universe works, a prospect that has the field of particle physics both baffled and ...
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 ...
Physicists often find thrifty, ingenious ways to reuse equipment and resources. What do you do with 800 square feet of scintillator from an old physics experiment? Cut it up and give it to high ...
An underground vat of liquid xenon in Italy may have just detected a new particle, born in the heart of the sun. If that's indeed what happened, it could upend laws of physics that have held fast for ...
Preliminary results from two experiments suggest something could be wrong with the basic way physicists think the universe works — a prospect that has the field of particle physics both baffled and ...
