Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that has long posed a problem: According to physicists’ best current ...

A major physics experiment has uncovered evidence for a strange new form of matter, where a fleeting particle gets trapped inside a nucleus. This exotic state may reveal how mass is generated, ...

Physicists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have uncovered new hints that certain particle decays may not behave as the ...

According to our current understanding of the universe, equal amounts of matter and antimatter should have been produced in the Big Bang, then both annihilated. However, the universe is dominated by ...

Most of the matter in the universe may be made out of particles that possess an unusual, donut-shaped electromagnetic field called an anapole. This proposal, which endows dark matter particles with a ...

New research suggests a particle inside an atom can lose mass, offering a fresh look at how matter works at the smallest scale.

Recent findings from research we have been carrying out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern in Geneva suggest that we might be closing in on signs of undiscovered physics. If confirmed, these ...

Europe's physics lab CERN is planning to build a particle-smasher even bigger than its Large Hadron Collider to continue searching for answers to some of the universe's tiniest yet most profound ...

This mystery ghost particle could hold the key to the origin of all the matter in the Universe ...
