A tiny discrepancy in particle physics has loomed for decades as an exciting possible crack in one of science's most ...

A major obstacle in calculating the muon’s behavior is the strong force, the most powerful of the four fundamental forces, along with gravity, electromagnetism, and the weak force. It binds quarks ...

Researchers at CERN's Large Hadron Collider have observed a rare B meson decay pattern that deviates from Standard Model predictions by four standard deviations. The result, from the LHCb experiment, ...

Researchers have, for the first time, described the properties of one-dimensional anyons and outlined how these particles can be observed using existing experimental setups.

The 2026 Breakthrough Prize honored advances in dark matter, quantum physics, gene editing and nonlinear mathematics.

A neglected force produced by neutrinos and other particles helps atomic physics measurements align with predictions of the ...

Some innovations in physics come from entirely new technologies, others from fresh theoretical insights. Others still take ...

A major physics experiment has uncovered evidence for a strange new form of matter, where a fleeting particle gets trapped ...
