Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

For decades, scientists have explored the enigmatic world of fundamental particles, uncovering the building blocks of our universe. But what if some of these particles, once deemed impossible, ...

Researchers may be on the brink of discovering evidence of a fifth fundamental force. As far as we know, at the most basic level, the universe is made up of fundamental particles and controlled by ...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making significant strides in the realm of physics, demonstrating immense potential across various domains. Among the many fascinating prospects is the application of ...

It’s a fundamental principle of physics that particles with opposite charges attract each other, while those with the same charge repel. But now, scientists at the University of Oxford have found that ...

Physicists may have yet another fundamental particle left to discover. When physicists at the Large Hardon Collider discovered the Higgs boson back in 2012, they’d found the last missing piece of the ...
