In 2023, a subatomic particle smashed into the Mediterranean Sea with enough energy to rattle the foundations of physics. The ...

In February 2023, a neutrino with an energy 100,000 times greater than anything the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) could produce crashed into Earth, sending shockwaves through the physics community. The ...

Cosmic rays are extremely fast, charged particles that travel through space at nearly the speed of light. The Amaterasu ...

"If our hypothesized dark charge is true, then we believe there could be a significant population of primordial black holes, which would be consistent with other astrophysical observations, and ...

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

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have uncovered experimental evidence that ...

A deep-sea neutrino telescope has detected the most energetic neutrino ever recorded. The particle, known as a "ghost particle," was about 30 times more active than the previous record-holder.

A new heat exchange system between the LHC and the French town of Ferney-Voltaire is directing waste heat energy from CERN's accelerator to warm thousands of homes and businesses.

Particle and high energy physics is dedicated to unravelling the fundamental constituents of matter and the forces governing their interactions. This field encompasses experimental efforts at the ...

Researchers have detected one of the highest-energy particles ever falling to Earth. Cosmic rays are high-energy particles that come from sources in space such as the sun, but this recent detection is ...
