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

Shock wave dynamics and particle interaction constitute a rapidly evolving field that bridges high-speed fluid dynamics with particulate matter behaviour in a variety of industrial and natural ...

Quantum physics paints a strange picture of the world, one filled with spooky connections, unsettling uncertainties ...

BERLIN, Germany – January 17, 2026 — Neutrinovoltaic, a Berlin-based research and information platform focused on neutrinovoltaic energy concepts, released an informational update summarizing ...

Somehow, neutrinos went from just another random particle to becoming tiny monsters that require multi-billion-dollar facilities to understand. And there’s just enough mystery surrounding them that we ...

Astronomers found evidence that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, hinting at a "fundamental breakthrough" that challenges our understanding of how the universe evolved.

Neutrinos are one of the most elusive and omnipresent particles in the universe. Their strange properties may explain why the amounts of matter and antimatter in our universe aren’t equal, as most ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In the fall of 2022, a Princeton University graduate student named Carolina Figueiredo stumbled onto a massive coincidence. She ...

Two ghostlike particles, neutrinos and photons, are emerging as unlikely combatants in a quiet revolution in physics. New calculations suggest these nearly intangible entities may interact in extreme ...

Electromagnetism and the weak nuclear force are two distinct fundamental forces. That wasn’t always the case. How many fundamental forces are there in our universe? For particle physicists, answering ...
