A new measurement of a fundamental particle called the W boson appears to defy the standard model of particle physics, our current understanding of how the basic building blocks of the universe ...

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A powerful new particle accelerator that could be set up at Fermilab, a telescope to observe the oldest light in the universe, and research to learn more about mysteries such as dark ...

A new theory suggests the universe’s greatest secrets are hiding in a “zeptouniverse” that’s ready to be explored—without waiting until 2070 for a new collider.

Particle accelerators are often framed as exotic machines built only to chase obscure particles, but they are really precision tools that use electric fields and magnets to steer tiny beams of matter ...

Once a surprise to physicists, these particles are useful tools inside and outside the realm of particle physics. Every minute, countless muons rain down from space, passing through ...

The Lab community gathered in person and virtually on Dec. 15 to hear about the newest edition of the P5 report. As the particle physics community releases its strategic plan for the next 10 years and ...

A hidden link has been found between two seemingly unrelated particle collision outcomes. It’s the latest example of a mysterious web of mathematical connections between disparate theories of physics.
