For Cinzia DaVià, collaboration isn’t just a buzzword. It’s the approach she applies to all her professional endeavors.

Detected by Boston College researchers, the axial Higgs mode, and materials that contain it, could support quantum sensors to help answer persistent questions in particle physics The previously ...

For over a decade, confusion over the size of the proton has held scientists back. Disagreeing measurements of the subatomic particle’s radius meant that scientists couldn’t test one of their key ...

The National Science Foundation's massive IceCube neutrino detector at the South Pole just got a major new upgrade, which promises to take the search for "ghost particles" to a new level. When you ...

What is meant, when an experiment anticipates less than a quarter of an event, and four are registered by the detector? That number discrepancy lies at the heart of a new conundrum of kaons: ...

As we continue our celebration of Women's History Month, here are some life-changing inventions brought to us by Black women.

When the universe first burst into being, all of space was a cosmic cauldron filled with a roiling, fiery liquid of fundamental particles heated to trillions of degrees. But this seething primordial ...

“Amaterasu” is the second most energetic cosmic astroparticle ever recorded (discovered in 2021 by the Telescope Array). *Current analyses show that the particle could originate from a nearby galaxy.

A window into how visible matter emerges from the "nothing" of vacuum has been opened by physicists at the Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) in New York. The ...

When you drill down into the very fabric of reality—where elementary particles make up the matter that is you and me and everything around us in three-dimensional space—things get divided nicely into ...

Just after 9 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 6, 2026, final beams of oxygen ions—oxygen atoms stripped of their electrons—circulated through the twin 2.4-mile-circumference rings of the Relativistic Heavy Ion ...

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Delaware is a vibrant hub of scientific inquiry, encompassing a diverse range of research areas that push the boundaries of human ...
