Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

Physics has a bit of a messy problem: There's matter missing in our universe. Something is there that we can't see, but scientists can detect. "When we look at how stars move in galaxies, they move as ...

The beat goes on for Kennesaw State University researchers Nikolaos Kidonakis and Marco Guzzi. The two have received their second joint grant in three years from the National Science Foundation (NSF) ...

Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

MARY K. GAILLARD, a pioneering theoretical physicist whose mathematical predictions helped shape the Standard Model of particle physics and who defied gender barriers in a male-dominated field, died ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though quantum physics says their exact position is fundamentally uncertain. Now, ...

In a landmark discovery that bridges nearly a century of theoretical physics, a Chinese research team has successfully ...

Particle physics seeks to understand the fundamental constituents of matter and the forces that govern their interactions. The field has evolved from early studies of protons, neutrons and electrons ...

Every October, the world awaits the announcement of the year’s Nobel Prize winners, but when it comes to awarding the Nobel in scientific fields, there is often not enough room in the spotlight to ...
