The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) has detected PeV (1015 eV) gamma-ray emission from a pulsar wind ...

For years, one tiny mismatch in particle physics carried outsized hopes. The muon, a heavier and short-lived cousin of the ...

Researchers have simulated "false vacuum decay," a theoretical quantum process often called the "bubble of doom" that could ...

A tiny discrepancy in particle physics has loomed for decades as an exciting possible crack in one of science's most ...

High above Earth, in the thin air of the Tibetan Plateau, a giant observatory ...

A team of scientists finds a way to evaluate highly complex Feynman integrals. How does the world look like at the smallest scales? This is a question scientists are trying to answer in particle ...

A straightforward math tweak could bring tachyon fields into line with the rest of physics. Tachyons are faster-than-light particles, and tachyon fields are special cases of quantum field. The math ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Mention "outsourcing" and people tend to think of fields like manufacturing or telemarketing; theoretical physics isn't even on the list. Yet the scientists who develop theoretical ...

Recent findings from research we have been carrying out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern in Geneva suggest that we ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. This article is more than 6 years old. A bit more than a week ago, ...

The muon’s mysteries continue to leave physicists spellbound. Last year, an experiment suggested that the elementary particle had inexplicably strong magnetism, possibly breaking a decades-long streak ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- The American Physical Society has named Carl Richard Hagen, professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Rochester, as a recipient of the 2010 J. J.
