Here’s something you rarely see so up close. The photograph above shows one of 18 optical modules inside KM3NeT, a massive detector for neutrinos, which are nearly massless, neutrally charged ...

The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than others. Reading time 5 minutes For all practical purposes, the Standard ...

A neglected force produced by neutrinos and other particles helps atomic physics measurements align with predictions of the standard model.

A new study links the universe’s expansion to quantum topology, suggesting that hidden mathematical structures may stabilize ...
