Spencer Axani, assistant professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, is the inventor of CosmicWatch, a portable, ...

Scientists at Fermilab’s MicroBooNE experiment have ruled out the existence of the elusive sterile neutrino, a particle proposed for decades to explain puzzling neutrino behavior. Their high-precision ...

You can't see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us.

Everything we see consists of molecules and atoms, which in turn consist of atomic nuclei and electrons. The atomic nuclei contain positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons, which consist of ...

The particle in question, known as a sterile neutrino, was supposed to only interact with gravity and have zero interactions ...

Physicists are exploring whether hidden dimensions and the shape of space could help explain why fundamental particles have ...

Particle and nuclear physics evokes evokes images of huge accelerators probing the extremes of matter. But in this round-up of my favourite research of 2025 I have chosen five stories in which ...

A unified theory – that explains the interactions in the standard model of particle physics from one common origin – has been ...

Avto Kharchilava helped planned and build the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector of the Large Hadron Collider, the strongest particle accelerator in the world. He is among researchers worldwide who ...

Note: Articles may be assigned to more than one subject area, as a result the sum of the subject research outputs may not equal the overall research outputs. Identify research insights to guide ...

Particle physics is a branch of physics that studies the elementary constituents of matter and radiation, and the interactions between them. It is also called "high energy physics", because many ...
