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

With contributions from Brown faculty and students, the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment analyzed the largest dataset ever collected by a dark matter detector, and the results provide the strongest constraints ...

Perhaps one of the most famous experiments in physics has been giving us the wrong message all these years. For nearly two ...

A new theory of "dark photons" attempted to explain a centuries-old experiment in a new way this year, in an effort to change ...

Does the universe notice that we're paying attention to a quantum experiment? The answer goes against everything we thought we knew.

The ALPS (Any Light Particle Search) experiment, which stretches a total length of 250 metres, is looking for a particularly light type of new elementary particle. Using twenty-four recycled ...

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 ...

Long tubes, strong magnets, and bright lasers. Is that all it takes to entice the shyest particles in the universe to reveal themselves? Physicists working on the ALPS II experiment certainly hope so, ...

Researchers from TUM, working at CERN, have made a groundbreaking discovery that reveals how deuterons are formed. Another long-standing question in particle physics has been answered. Scientists ...

Quantum physics is the realm of the strange. And one of the strangest discoveries in the field is also one of the most fundamental: Particles fired at barriers with two slits in them can act like ...

Physicists want to ramp up their efforts to weigh neutrinos, which are perhaps the most mysterious of all elementary particles. Currently, only one experiment in the world has a shot at making such a ...
