When the first matter came into being right after the Big Bang, what was it like? It may not have been quite as scientists have been describing it. That is one of the possibilities raised by four ...

A century ago, physicists didn't know about the existence of neutrinos, the most abundant, elusive and ethereal subatomic particles of matter in the universe. Although they are abundant, each ...

When studying mysterious subatomic particles, researchers use a different kind of particle detector to prevent run-of-the-mill dust particles from getting in the way. If you’ve got physics on your ...

AMES, Iowa – It won’t be long before aluminum parts manufactured in Ames are part of a $28 million upgrade to a nuclear physics experiment at a national laboratory in New York. Veronica Canoa Roman, ...

Scientists have inched a step closer to solving an enduring mystery in physics — why the universe contains any matter at all — thanks to a newly combined analysis from two of the world's leading ...

The field of particle physics is approaching a critical horizon defined by challenges including unprecedented data volumes and detector complexity. Upcoming ...

There is a limit to how big we can build particle colliders on Earth, whether that is because of limited space or limited economics. Since size is equivalent to energy output for particle colliders, ...

Two independent lines of evidence from the world’s most powerful particle experiments are converging on the same ...

Researechers are testing superconducting microwire single-photon detectors (SMSPDs) for use in future particle physics exepriments. The detectors, which were designed and fabricated at JPL and ...
