MADISON – When the world’s most powerful particle accelerator starts up later this year, exotic new particles may offer a glimpse of the existence and shapes of extra dimensions. Researchers from the ...

At the world’s most powerful colliders, physicists are finally catching sight of particles that almost never leave a trace, a “ghost” signal that has haunted theory for decades. The detection of these ...

A consortium of Boston-area researchers hopes to fill in a missing piece of a fundamental theory of physics within the next couple months, when groundbreaking tests are carried out at the world's ...

Einstein proposed his special theory of relativity 120 years ago, and despite numerous attempts to challenge it, the theory ...

Helium is the simplest element in the periodic table with more than one particle in its nucleus, yet state of the art theory and experiments on it don't add up. When you purchase through links on our ...

More than 300 feet underground, outside Geneva, Switzerland, trillions and trillions of subatomic particles streak around a massive man-made track at nearly the speed of light. As the particles ...
