For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, perfectly described on cosmic scales yet refusing to mesh with the quantum rules that govern everything else. A growing camp ...

In 1867, Lord Kelvin pictured atoms as tiny knots in an invisible medium called the ether. That picture turned out to be wrong, since atoms are built ...

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

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

Neutrinos – you may have heard of them referred to as "ghost particles" – pass through everything because they are extremely ...

Quantum physics is usually associated with particle colliders and vacuum chambers, not with the proteins quietly shuttling ...

For three decades, a riddle has followed neutrinos, the near-weightless particles that stream through Earth by the trillions ...

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

New results from the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab found no evidence of a hypothetical fourth flavor of neutrino ...

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 ...
