One of the first to propose this idea was physicist Richard Feynman, who, in a now-famous 1981 lecture, stated that to ...

A team of young scientists paused their new physics searches to develop an innovative machine-learning tool, which is now helping them narrow in on a rare and messy decay of the Higgs boson.

The Standard Model is a kind of periodic table of the elements for particle physics. But instead of listing the chemical elements, it lists the fundamental particles that make up the atoms that make ...

Settle in for a physics-themed Halloween movie marathon. Looking for a way to celebrate Halloween? Has 2016 got you too spooked to go outside? Pop some corn and sample Symmetry’s little-known series ...

The ProtoDUNE detectors for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment are behemoths in their own right.

Zurek says that in order for scientists to start lending weight to his claims, Verlinde needs to build the case around his theory and show that it accommodates a wider range of observations. But, she ...

An idea borne from physics Since the early 2000s, a small team at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico has developed technology that uses muons to examine fragile or otherwise inaccessible ...

The ATLAS collaboration recently measured the strength of the strong force to a record level of precision, but there’s still a long way to go toward understanding this fundamental force.

For more than two decades, amateur photographer Dale Carter has documented the physicists who come to the Black Hills for their research.

The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope—scheduled to come online in the early 2020s—will use a 3.2-gigapixel camera to photograph a giant swath of the heavens. It’ll keep it up for 10 years, every night ...

The demonstration of the first antimatter quantum bit paves the way for substantially improved tests of nature’s fundamental symmetries.
