Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

It's true. Muons - you know, those subatomic particles, also known as fat electrons - wobble faster than we suspected. By we, of course, I mean they - the particle physicists obsessed with things like ...

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A powerful new particle accelerator that could be set up at Fermilab, a telescope to observe the oldest light in the universe, and research to learn more about mysteries such as dark ...

The theorized unseen structure of spacetime could also explain of the outstanding questions about the accelerating expansion of the universe.

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in equations rather than explained from first principles. A new proposal argues that ...

The Standard Model of particle physics—the best, most thoroughly vetted description of reality scientists have ever devised—appears to have fended off yet another threat to its reign. The muon is the ...

Why matter dominates over antimatter in our universe has long been a major cosmic mystery to physicists. A new finding by the world's largest particle collider has revealed a clue. When you purchase ...
