The DUNE project hopes to learn more about these "ghost particles," which are difficult to study. To do so, the project will beam neutrinos about 800 miles between Illinois and South Dakota. Nearly ...

The weak nuclear force doesn't play by the normal rules — and, in fact, it breaks one of the biggest rules of all.

Bengaluru: Karnataka’s Kolar Gold Fields (KGF) were more than just a treasure trove for the Chola kings or British colonisers. The mines helped Indian scientists strike gold in particle physics as ...

First collisions of protons at the world's largest science experiment are expected to start the first or second week of June, according to a senior research scientist ...

Scientists want to connect the fundamental forces of nature in one Grand Unified Theory. The 1970s were a heady time in particle physics. New accelerators in the United States and Europe turned up ...

Some scientists spend decades trying to catch a glimpse of a rare process. But with good experimental design and a lot of luck, they often need only a handful of signals to make a discovery. In 2009, ...

What if the odds of an event occurring were about one in ten billion? This is the case for the decay of a positively charged particle known as a kaon into another positively charged particle called a ...

Two independent teams of nuclear physicists have found evidence for a new form of radioactivity involving the simultaneous emission of two protons. Researchers at the GANIL laboratory in France and ...

A few days ago I wrote about how different measurements of the Hubble parameter gave results that didn't quite agree. It's not the only example of such an experimental disagreement. In fact, one of ...
