A consortium of Boston-area researchers hopes to fill in a missing piece of a fundamental theory of physics within the next couple months, when groundbreaking tests are carried out at the world's ...
Just a few hundred feet from where we are sitting is a large metal chamber devoid of air and draped with the wires needed to control the instruments inside. A beam of particles passes through the ...
Researchers gathered pages from a Gutenberg Bible and 15th-century Confucian texts to blast them with a high-powered X-ray. Andy Altman Former Director of Video Production Andy Altman covered all ...
Physicists are using the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) to test key accelerator strategies for a new state-of-the-art Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) that will reuse some of RHIC's crucial ...
In a recent experiment, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN produced particles believed to have only existed in the moments following the Big Bang. This remarkable achievement offers valuable ...
Fresh from their historic discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, researchers using CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the main particle accelerator at the European particle-physics laboratory near ...

Results from KATRIN and MicroBooNE strongly disfavour a light sterile-neutrino explanation of longstanding anomalies.
Since inaugural operations began in 2008, the LHC has allowed researchers to probe some of the universe’s most profound and mysterious forces. But investigating the deepest questions of modern physics ...
The particle in question, known as a sterile neutrino, was supposed to only interact with gravity and have zero interactions with matter.
