In 2024, the T2K Collaboration started to collect new neutrino data following several upgrades to the experiment that included new types of detectors. One of these, called SuperFGD, has a mass of ...

Scientists from the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN) have announced the possible detection of the signal of the smallest elementary particle — toponium at the Large Hadron Collider. The ...

Why do neutrinos, these elementary particles, sometimes seem to act in such a puzzling way? For decades, physicists have been ...

Explore the standard model of particle physics and its implications as discoveries challenge long-held theories. Fermilab’s Tevatron, the largest particle accelerator in the United States, was shut ...

When trying to answer questions as deep as “what makes up the universe,” advance planning is key. On June 11, the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine announced the result of a ...

Physicists are thrilled at today's (July 4) announcement of the discovery of a new elementary particle that is likely the Higgs boson, an elusive particle thought to give all other matter its mass.
