In 2023, a detector buried off the Mediterranean Sea spotted an impossibly powerful neutrino signal—tens of thousands of times more energetic than anything produced by humanity’s most powerful ...

Published January 7 in the journal Nature, one paper tackled the age-old problem of nature’s construction with a bit of a twist: it suggests that living networks, like our brain, may use some of the ...

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 ...

Right now, molecules in the air are moving around you in chaotic and unpredictable ways. To make sense of such systems, ...

This is what the creation of a Higgs Boson looks like to the Large Hadron Collider. (Credit: CERN) The Higgs boson is, if ...

Humanity has worked itself into a position where we can detect a single high-energy particle from space and wonder where in ...

The audit concludes that the Selection-Stitch Model offers something modern physics has lacked for decades: Simplicity. It replaces dozens of arbitrary parameters with a single, rigid geometry. It ...

Astronomers found evidence that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, hinting at a "fundamental breakthrough" that challenges our understanding of how the universe evolved.

Using the world's most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider, scientists have found that the quark-gluon ...

This puzzle is known as the problem of time, and it remains one of the most persistent obstacles to a unified theory of ...

Across the quiet darkness of space and the buried detectors under Antarctic ice, a set of stubborn anomalies is piling up.
