A supercharged neutrino that smashed into our planet in 2023 may have been spit out by an exploding primordial black hole ...

The National Science Foundation's massive IceCube neutrino detector at the South Pole just got a major new upgrade, which promises to take the search for "ghost particles" to a new level.

After years of confusion, a new study confirms the proton is tinier than once thought. That enables a test of the standard model of particle physics.

The largest particle collider in the US, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), has ...

Before the RHIC shut down, it was the only operational particle collider in the U.S. and one of two heavy-ion colliders in the world, the other being the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland.

A surprising and rare particle decay has left scientists puzzled as kaons, particles made up of quarks, are decaying in ways that defy current physics models. Could this anomaly indicate the existence ...

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider , the largest particle collider in the United States, collided its last particles in early February. RHIC is a massive accelerator ring and set ...

The model we have for understanding the universe’s fundamental particles is a bit like a gearbox: one tiny change to any one single particles’ properties throws off the mechanics of the other ...

Peter Higgs, who gave his name to the subatomic particle known as the Higgs boson, passed away at the age of 94. He was always a modest man, especially when considering that he was one of the greats ...
