Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

In 2023, a subatomic particle called a neutrino crashed into Earth with such a high amount of energy that it should have been ...

Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in physics: string theory. This rare particle—never seen before and predicted not ...

Physicists at the world's largest particle accelerator have made a first-of-its-kind discovery about antimatter that could help solve one of the universe's biggest mysteries. The discovery — made at ...

To reach this conclusion, the researchers examined the most basic form of entanglement between identical particles using the concept of nonlocality introduced by physicist John Bell. While ...
