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 ...

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 ...

Physicists are eyeing charged gravitinos—ultra-heavy, stable particles from supergravity theory—as possible Dark Matter candidates. Unlike axions or WIMPs, these particles carry electric charge but ...

THE STANDARD MODEL of particle physics—completed in 1973—is the jewel in the crown of modern physics. It predicts the properties of elementary particles and forces with mind-boggling accuracy. Take ...

Dark matter is some kind of substance that has gravity—it holds galaxies together—yet cannot be directly seen with any ...

The Standard Model is one of the most well-tested theories in particle physics. But scientists are searching for new physics beyond it. Humans have always sought to understand the essence of the world ...

A proposed funding program for small- and medium-scale projects reveals insights into the science, logistical challenges, and future of particle physics research. Particle physicists have a reputation ...

Have you ever stood by the sea and been overwhelmed by its vastness, by how quickly it could roll in and swallow you? Evidence suggests that we are suspended in a cosmic sea of dark matter, a ...

Sam Baron receives funding from the Australian Research Council. The Matter of Everything tells the history of physics through experiments. Any book about the history of science for a general audience ...
