Mathematicians are challenging the idea that dark energy is responsible for the accelerating expansion of the universe. In a ...

An unexpected behavior in a particle decay seems to disagree with the predictions of the Standard Model, despite its high ...

Scientists working at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider may be seeing the strongest hints yet of physics beyond the Standard Model — the decades-old theory that explains the fundamental particles and ...

Physicists have spent the last 20 years pondering an apparent discrepancy between experimental results and theoretical predictions for the magnetic properties of the muon, the electron’s heavier ...

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 ...

Astronomers have developed a new way to test one of the central assumptions of modern cosmology — that the universe behaves uniformly on the largest scales. When applying the method to real ...

(via SciShow) The Standard Model of Particle Physics is the best theory scientists have to explain how the universe works on subatomic scales. But just because it's the "best" doesn't mean there ...

Section 1. Policy and Purpose. Over the last 5 years, confidence that scientists act in the best interests of the public has fallen significantly. A majority of researchers in science, technology, ...
