Deep in the core of most galaxies, hidden by spinning clouds of gas and dust, black holes spin like cosmic engines. These ...

In this video, we explore the fundamental forces of nature and their interactions with particles, structured as follows: 0:00 ...

The model we have for understanding the universe’s fundamental particles is a bit like a gearbox: one tiny change to any one single particles’ properties throws off the mechanics of the other ...

Over time, particle physics and astrophysics and computing have built upon one another’s successes. That coevolution continues today. In the mid-twentieth century, particle physicists were peering ...

The award, sponsored by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, provides $1.3 million in funding over five years to each of ...

At the start of the 20th century scientists had little knowledge of the building blocks that form our physical world. By the end of the century they had discovered not just all the elements that are ...

Physicists have found that an elementary particle called the W boson appears to be 0.1% too heavy — a tiny discrepancy that could foreshadow a huge shift in fundamental physics. The measurement, ...
