An invisible force has long eluded detection within the halls of the world’s most famous particle accelerator—until now.

The largest-ever survey of physicists from around the world—released today—shows a distinct lack of consensus across many of ...

Our weekly roundup of the latest science in the news, as well as a few fascinating articles to keep you entertained over the ...

Physicists may have just cracked open a hidden side of the quantum world. For decades, every known particle was thought to ...

When fundamental particles are heavier or lighter than expected, physicists' understanding of the universe can tip into the unknown. A particle that is just beyond its predicted mass can unravel ...

Time may feel smooth and continuous, but at the quantum level it behaves very differently. Physicists have now found a way to measure how long ultrafast quantum events actually last, without relying ...

Physicists have spent the last 20 years pondering an apparent discrepancy between experimental results and theoretical predictions for the magnetic properties of the muon, the electron’s heavier ...

Scientists who win Nobel Prizes become "visible scientists" - getting "almost bulletproof prestige and a reputation that can open just about any door," writes Massimiano Bucchi in The MIT Press Reader ...
