Although she faced discrimination from her mostly male colleagues, she did groundbreaking work that showed experimentalist physicists where and how to look for new particles.

Scientists on the ATLAS experiment explored the polarization of W bosons to test the Higgs mechanism and gain a deeper ...

It won’t make its way into quantum computers, but it could help us understand why the universe is filled with matter.

For more than half a century, scientists have tried to understand dark matter—a mysterious form of matter that doesn’t emit ...

Cosmological models say the Big Bang produced equal matter and antimatter, which destroy each other on contact-so it's a ...

Current models of physics dictate there should be as much antimatter in the universe as matter, but there isn't. Work at the world's largest particle collider has come a step closer to explaining why.

A rather unassuming particle is playing an important role in the hunt for subatomic oddities. Similar to protons and neutrons ...

Science in ancient Egypt and Greece followed a similar pattern: It thrived during good times and fell off in periods of ...

The theorists predict that the beginning of the end will be in about 10 billion years — less than the present age of the ...

Stevens’ team harnesses both the “wave-ness” and “particle-ness” of quantum objects to develop a groundbreaking imaging ...

In one of the most extreme environments on Earth—the Large Hadron Collider—normal electronics fail almost instantly. But ...
