Scientists at Fermilab’s MicroBooNE experiment have ruled out the existence of the elusive sterile neutrino, a particle ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

The particle in question, known as a sterile neutrino, was supposed to only interact with gravity and have zero interactions ...

Physicists love the Higgs boson, but they hate the God particle. The elusive Higgs particle, which scientists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) particle accelerator announced Tuesday (Dec. 13) that ...

Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be determined by examining the state ...
