Scientists have taken a major step toward solving a long-standing mystery in particle physics, by finding no sign of the ...

New results from the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab found no evidence of a hypothetical fourth flavor of neutrino ...

"Precision in these measurements is critical, as even subtle discrepancies could signal deviations from the model — ...

Neutrinos are tiny subatomic particles that barely interact with matter. They can pass through planets without stopping. The ...

Neutrinos – you may have heard of them referred to as "ghost particles" – pass through everything because they are extremely ...

Most of us first hear about the irrational number π (pi)—rounded off as 3.14, with an infinite number of decimal digits—in ...

Using a precisely aligned pair of laser beams, scientists can now hold a single aerosol particle in place and monitor how it charges up. The particle’s glow signals each step in its changing ...

The supercollider is now being used to explore quantum phenomena, including a “magic” form of quantum entanglement.

Scientists hunted dark matter and solar neutrinos with one of the largest experiments yet. While the neutrinos likely ...

Theoretical particle physics is the development of models for describing fundamental particles and their interactions. This includes testing and refining the prevailing theory: the standard model.

Experimental particle physics is the practical investigation of the fundamental components of matter and radiation. A crucial tool in the arsenal of the experimental particle physicist is the particle ...

The Martin A. Fisher School of Physics enjoys an international reputation for excellence in research, and is one of the highest-ranked of its size in the country. The department offers rigorous ...
