But only in the last 70 years have we known for certain they were there. In 1956, physicists Clyde Cowan and Frederick Reines ...
Astronomers found evidence that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, hinting at a "fundamental breakthrough" that ...
Our best models of the cosmos don't add up — but that could change if the universe is actually made of a viscous 'fluid,' a ...
Scientists at Fermilab’s MicroBooNE experiment have ruled out the existence of the elusive sterile neutrino, a particle ...
Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Current theories suggest that W and Z bosons acquire mass from interactions with the Higgs scalar field, but a new study suggests ...
Current theories suggest that W and Z bosons acquire mass from interactions with the Higgs scalar field, but a new study suggests that the higher dimensional structure of spacetime could be the actual ...
An obscure theory of elementary particles proved to be key to China’s re-emergence as a scientific nation after the Cultural ...
Proton collisions at the LHC appear wildly chaotic, but new data reveal a surprising underlying order. The findings confirm that a basic rule of quantum mechanics holds true even in extreme particle ...
A professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz, he was a key contributor to a landmark paper that laid out how the ...
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 ...
