Columbia professors contributed to new research that seeks to understand an anomaly that has puzzled particle physics for ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward solving a long-standing mystery in particle physics, by finding no sign of the ...

Two papers challenged the existence of theorized particles called sterile neutrinos that might account for mysteries like the ...

For three decades, a riddle has followed neutrinos, the near-weightless particles that stream through Earth by the trillions each second. They change identities as they fly, shifting among three known ...

Odd radio waves emanating from the ice don’t fit our model of particle behavior. Could they be a sign of dark matter?

Knotted structures once imagined by Lord Kelvin may actually have shaped the universe’s earliest moments, according to new ...

The geometry of space, the setting in which physical laws operate, may hold clues to some of the biggest unanswered questions in fundamental physics. The underlying structure of spacetime itself could ...

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 ...

Until recently, scientists had never detected black holes in the “mass gap”—now, particle physicists are exploring ideas beyond the Standard Model that could explain them. On May 21, 2019, a ripple in ...

If you’ve heard the news about the Nobel Prize in physics, you might be asking yourself: What is a Higgs boson anyway? If you know one thing about the Higgs boson, it’s probably that it’s called the ...
