Although neutrinos are the second most abundant particle in the universe after photons, their weak interaction with matter makes them very hard to detect and requires enormous detectors, such as ...

Astronomers have uncovered a vast cloud of energetic particles—a "mini halo"—surrounding one of the most distant galaxy ...

Although our universe may seem stable, having existed for a whopping 13.7 billion years, several experiments suggest that it is at risk—walking on the edge of a very dangerous cliff. And it's ...

Nothing is permanent—not even the universe itself.At least, that’s what current models of physics tell us about the nature of existence. Luckily for humanity, most astrophysicists’ estimates ...

The Higgs boson, the mysterious particle that lends other particles their mass, could have kept our universe from collapsing. And its properties might be a clue that we live in a multiverse of ...

Ten years ago, a team operating the world’s largest particle collider made history by discovering the Higgs boson particle, a finding key to understanding the creation of the universe, earning ...

And some, like theoretical particle physicist Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, think a hypothetical particle called the axion may make this problem a little ... There's matter missing in our universe.

Why isn’t the universe boring? It could be. The number of subatomic particles in the universe is about 10 80, a 1 with 80 zeros after it.Scatter those particles at random, and the universe would ...

A decade ago, the Large Hadron Collider, Earth’s most powerful particle accelerator, proved the existence of an subatomic particle called the Higgs boson – thought to be a fundamental building ...
