An obscure theory of elementary particles proved to be key to China’s re-emergence as a scientific nation after the Cultural ...

After years of careful investigation, researchers working on the Micro Booster Neutrino Experiment (MicroBooNE) have determined that a ...

String theory attempts to unify all forces and particles in the universe using vibrating strings. It aims to explain the Standard Model of particle physics, which is incomplete. String theory predicts ...

Purdue University's Vidya Nagaraju and Kingsly Ambrose measure the size and shape distribution of particles on a Malvern Morphologi G3-ID particle shape analyzer at the Agricultural Particulates Lab ...

A team of physicists has coaxed a single, photon-like particle into behaving as if it lives in 37 different quantum ...

If photons possess more quantum states than expected, it would overhaul our understanding of all particle physics – and now physicists have identified a way to test this radical idea in an experiment.

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