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

The particle in question, known as a sterile neutrino, was supposed to only interact with gravity and have zero interactions ...

Physicists were left with more questions than answers this week after returning empty-handed following a painstaking search for an elusive theoretical particle called a sterile neutrino. The results ...

Experimental particle physicists working at the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab National Accelerator Laboratory have found ...

New results from the MicroBooNE experiment rule out the existence of a sterile neutrino, reshaping how scientists think about ...

It is once again stocky particle spring. You might recall that, one year ago, researchers at Fermilab announced the discovery of a fat wobbly muon. Now, they have another offering for us: a boson with ...

The universe's matter-antimatter asymmetry, where matter significantly outweighs antimatter despite their theoretically equal creation at the Big Bang, remains a major unsolved problem in physics.

If you’ve always wanted to know something about particle physics (but were afraid to ask), eight Western New York high school students have it covered, thanks to UB’s Physics and Arts Summer Institute ...
