A lot of the science from our accelerators is published long after collisions end, so storing experimental data for future physicists is crucial.

Determining the nature of dark matter, the invisible substance that makes up most of the mass in our universe, is one of the greatest puzzles in physics. New results from the world's most sensitive ...

As the name suggests, particle accelerators involve accelerating subatomic particles to incredibly high speeds and smashing them into tiny targets.

Determining the nature of dark matter, the invisible substance that makes up most of the mass in our universe, is one of the greatest puzzles in physics. New results from the world’s most sensitive ...

Physicists are eyeing charged gravitinos—ultra-heavy, stable particles from supergravity theory—as possible Dark Matter candidates. Unlike axions or WIMPs, these particles carry electric charge but ...

Particles similar to axions, the leading candidate for dark matter that has long eluded detection, may have already been created in particle colliders – and remained hidden in the data ...

By using something called a quantum grid, scientists have found a clever way to simultaneously measure momentum and position without violating Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

The measurement problem in quantum mechanics looks at how an experimental outcome changes, simply by observing it.

Researchers have reimagined Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, engineering a trade-off that allows precise measurement of both position and momentum. Using quantum computing tools like grid states ...

The Higgs boson self-coupling is a phenomenon where the Higgs interacts with itself, which can manifest in particle collisions at the CERN LHC through the production of Higgs boson pairs.

In January I wrote a piece titled “ 5 Physics Equations Everyone Should Know .” Lots of you weighed in with your own nominations, and there were plenty of good suggestions. So I’ve decided to do a ...
