Last month, a group of researchers in the United States presented a rousing vision for the future of high-energy particle physics. The recommendations from the Particle Physics Project Prioritization ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. An international team of researchers is pushing forward with plans for a radically smaller, cheaper particle accelerator by using ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) sparked worldwide excitement in March as particle physicists reported tantalizing evidence for new physics — potentially a new force of nature. Now, our new result, yet ...

When the universe first burst into being, all of space was a cosmic cauldron filled with a roiling, fiery liquid of fundamental particles heated to trillions of degrees. But this seething primordial ...

Particle physicists are unlikely evangelists, but in papers, at conferences and with T-shirts, stickers and memes, many of them are spreading the good word of a muon collider—a next-generation machine ...

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 ...
