Buried deep below the American Midwest, a new kind of observatory is taking shape that aims to watch some of the most elusive particles in the universe as they stream straight through Earth. The Deep ...
A proposed funding program for small- and medium-scale projects reveals insights into the science, logistical challenges, and future of particle physics research. Particle physicists have a reputation ...
Patterns in chaos have been proven, in the incredibly tiny quantum realm, by an international team co-led by UC Santa Cruz physicist Jairo Velasco, Jr. In a new paper published on November 27 in ...
Neutrinos are some of nature’s most elusive particles. One hundred trillion fly through your body every second, but each one has only a tiny chance of jostling one of your atoms, a consequence of the ...
Physicists at Colorado State University have measured the radius of a hydrogen proton with ...
The ALICE Collaboration is a winner of the 2025 Gizmodo Science Fair for transforming lead into gold for a fraction of a second and exposing the strange physics that goes on inside the Large Hadron ...
The most beautiful experiment in physics, according to a poll of Physics World readers, is the interference of single electrons in a Young’s double slit. Robert P Crease reports Simply beautiful – the ...
WASHINGTON, D.C.—U.S. physicists have a bold new plan to “explore the quantum universe,” from the smallest bits of matter to the broadest reaches of the cosmos. On December 7 the Particle Physics ...

The experimental neutrino physics group is involved in three experiments around the world, described below. Our research involves the study of fundamental subatomic particles called neutrinos. In ...
We tend not to dwell on the fact that we exist in three dimensions. Forwards-back, left-right, up-down; these are the axes on which we navigate the world. When we try to imagine something else, it ...
