The sPHENIX particle detector, the newest experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, has released its first ...

The Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has successfully completed the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) and released its first physics results.

The fundamental nature of living things challenges assumptions that physicists have held for centuries.

Ramanujan’s insights into pi are now guiding scientists toward a deeper understanding of how the universe works.

Trillions of neutrinos whiz through our bodies every day, pulsing from the sun, outer space and deep beneath Earth. Yet these elusive subatomic particles have proven difficult to study. That could ...

The Standard Model of particle physics—the best, most thoroughly vetted description of reality scientists have ever devised—appears to have fended off yet another threat to its reign. The muon is the ...

An unexpected anomaly is only as disruptive as the framework it challenges, and in modern physics that framework is a meticulously tuned playbook of equations, approximations and shared assumptions.

A century ago, science went quantum. To celebrate, physicists are throwing a global, year-long party. In 1925, quantum mechanics, the scientific theory that describes the unintuitive rules of physics ...

If you try to do an experiment or a calculation and it doesn’t work out, should you tell other researchers about it? Or just move on to something more promising as quickly as you can? Philip Ball ...

The successful completion of the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) and the release of its first physics results were announced by the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of the ...
