Scientists spent decades chasing signs of a mysterious new force hidden inside the muon, one of nature’s strangest particles.

The eta prime meson held together without one of the fundamental forces of the universe.

In this video, we explore the Standard Model of particle physics, detailing the quantum field theories that describe ...

In recent years, a group of Hungarian researchers have made headlines with a bold claim. They say they’ve discovered a new particle — dubbed X17 — that requires the existence of a fifth force of ...

Scientists have made a major breakthrough that takes us a step closer to developing a nuclear clock — a device that keeps time based on the inner workings of atoms. For the first time, physicists have ...

A lot of times, when you’re pushing science to the absolute limits, you want an experiment to have one of two results. First, you want to see a positive result—something that confirms your models and ...

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 ...

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

he Breakthrough Prize Foundation today announced physicist David J. Gross, of UC Santa Barbara’s Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, among the winners of the 2026 Breakthrough Prizes, honoring ...

The idea that everything that exists can be built from the bottom up has long held sway among physicists. Now, a new kind of science is under construction that centres conscious experience – and might ...
