After years of searching, scientists at the Micro Booster Neutrino Experiment have ruled out the possibility of the existence of a sterile neutrino.

The masses of fundamental particles such as the Z and W bosons could have arisen from the twisted geometry of hidden ...

This discovery is important because it ruled out a major possibility for new physics beyond the Standard Model.

Neutrinos may be nearly invisible, but they play a starring role in the Universe. Long-standing anomalies had hinted at a ...

Brian Cox once toured as a keyboardist in major rock and pop bands. Now he’s a particle physicist on a new world tour with a ...

Searches for dark matter particles have come up empty so far, driving theorists to get more creative with their ideas.

Physicists are closing in on one of the most persistent mysteries in particle physics: whether a hidden kind of neutrino is ...

Taking a look back over the last twelve months, here are several of the biggest science stories in physics this year, as well ...

Household gadgets have a way of sounding scarier than they are once someone attaches a giant number to them. The claim that a ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

High-precision measurements from the KATRIN experiment strongly limit the existence of light sterile neutrinos and narrow the search for new physics. Neutrinos are extremely difficult to detect, yet ...
