Neutrino oscillation is weird, but it may be weird in a useful way, because it might allow physicists to probe certain ...

The universe exists because matter and antimatter are not good friends. Is there a scientific reason why the universe exists?

What makes up the matter we perceive in the universe? To start, there are the usual suspects, like electrons, protons, quarks and neutrinos. But if those particles aren't strange enough for you, I'm ...

“There’s a lot of meanings for ‘small,’” says Janet Conrad, a particle physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ...

At its simplest, it sorts the building blocks of the universe into three categories: quarks, leptons, and bosons. Quarks and leptons are the “matter particles,” while bosons ... Story continues below ...

A new study broadens the horizon of knowledge about how matter behaves under extreme conditions and helps to solve some great unknowns about the origin of the universe. An international team of ...

A new particle detector has passed a crucial test, demonstrating it's ready to start investigating quark-gluon plasma, the ...

A comprehensive review explores how particles containing heavy quarks (known as charm and bottom hadrons) interact in a hot, dense environment called hadronic matter. The authors have published a ...
