Sebastian Mizera just joined the physics department as an assistant professor, researching quantum field theory.

What is everything made of? It’s the fundamental question that lies at the heart of particle physics. Today, scientists are using gigantic, atom-smashing particle accelerators to probe deeper into the ...

They're tiny, invisible, and travel across the universe. And trillions of them just flew through your body. What are they? Neutrinos ‒ and scientists Wednesday announced the discovery of the most ...

Particles and antiparticles have opposite charges, and they annihilate if they interact, turning into pure energy. In the Big Bang, an equal amount of matter and antimatter formed, but some process ...

A study by Dartmouth researchers proposes a new theory about the origin of dark matter, the mysterious and invisible substance thought to give the universe its shape and structure. They say the ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) The early universe was 250,000 times hotter than the core of our sun. That’s far too hot to form the protons and neutrons that make up everyday matter. Scientists recreate the ...
