Very early on in our universe, when it was a seething hot cauldron of energy, particles made of matter and antimatter bubbled ...

According to the laws of physics, matter and antimatter behave the same way and were formed in equal quantities in the Big ...

Physicists have been chasing one of the universe’s strangest mysteries—neutrinos, nearly invisible particles that zip through ...

Neutrinos are tiny particles that can pass through everything, rarely interacting with matter. They are the universe's most ...

Below the waves of the Mediterranean, Europe's KM3NeT neutrino telescope is on a cosmic hunt. Towering strings of sensors ...

Researchers study neutrino oscillations, with Ohio State's Zoya Vallari developing a detector to better understand these ...

Particle physicists have gone to great lengths — including rowing onto the dark waters of a swimming pool-sized water tank and setting up a base in the Antarctic — to understand one of the universe’s ...

Neutrino physics remains a pivotal area in the quest to unravel fundamental aspects of particle behaviour and the evolution of the universe. Neutrinos—elusive, nearly massless particles—are known to ...

In 1867, Lord Kelvin imagined atoms as knots in the aether. The idea was soon disproven. Atoms turned out to be something ...

Neutrinos remain among the most intriguing particles in nature due to their elusive mass, weak interactions and pervasive presence in the cosmos. Recent experimental breakthroughs have enabled the ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. In December, 1930, a group of physicists convened a meeting in Tübingen ...
