In September 2024, physicists made a discovery at CERN that could change how we understand the universe. For the first time, ...

Our universe is dominated by a mysterious matter known as dark matter. Its name comes from the fact that dark matter does not absorb, reflect or emit electromagnetic radiation, making it difficult to ...

The most discreet dwarf galaxies in our Universe reveal a gravitational anomaly that has intrigued astronomers for decades. While large spiral galaxies seem to follow well-established rules, ...

A new study suggests that during a potential phase of primordial matter domination, particle interactions may have led to the formation of the universe’s first compact cosmic objects. Less than a ...

Before atomic elements came together, less than a second after the Big Bang, if particles condensed into halos of matter, ...

The NHTI Film Society will screen “Particle Fever,” about particle physics and the Hadron collider in Switzerland, at 7 p.m. Friday in the Sweeney Auditorium on the Concord campus. The documentary ...

A physicist, a composer and a creative technician team up to translate the unseen particles around us into a format that human bodies can understand. During his postdoc, particle physicist Teppei ...

Collaborative experiments focus on uncovering the unusual properties of the ghost particle. In a recent study, physicists have created the clearest and most detailed view so far of how neutrinos shift ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

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 ...

Although our universe may seem stable, having existed for a whopping 13.7 billion years, several experiments suggest that it is at risk – walking on the edge of a very dangerous cliff. And it’s all ...
