With additional data, researchers can test whether the finding continues to grow in significance or fades away. LZ has ...

To learn more about the nature of matter, energy, space, and time, physicists smash high-energy particles together in large accelerator machines, creating sprays of millions of particles per second of ...

With little in the way of significant discoveries since 2012, there have been mutterings that particle physics is at a dead ...

Physicists at multiple institutions are compressing particle accelerators from facility-scale machines stretching hundreds of meters down to devices that fit on a laboratory bench or even a silicon ...

For years, a favorite suspect was a hypothetical particle called a WIMP, short for weakly interacting massive particle. The ...

Scientists have used computational algebraic geometry to study predictions for particle physics experiments, such as those at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which first detected the Higgs particle ...

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 ...

Want to travel into the future of particle physics, but don’t have that Higgs boson-powered time machine in working order yet? Check out this chart (below), which shows the insanely huge physics ...

Researechers are testing superconducting microwire single-photon detectors (SMSPDs) for use in future particle physics exepriments. The detectors, which were designed and fabricated at JPL and ...
