Our universe is dominated by a mysterious matter known as dark matter. Its name comes from the fact that dark matter does not absorb, reflect or emit electromagnetic radiation, making it difficult to ...

A new study suggests that during a potential phase of primordial matter domination, particle interactions may have led to the formation of the universe’s first compact cosmic objects. Less than a ...

The universe have been existing for an impressive 13.7 billion years, but several experiments suggest that it may not be as secure as it appears. And it's all down to the instability of a single ...

Although our universe may seem stable, having existed for a whopping 13.7 billion years, several experiments suggest that it is at risk – walking on the edge of a very dangerous cliff. And it’s all ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

The NHTI Film Society will screen “Particle Fever,” about particle physics and the Hadron collider in Switzerland, at 7 p.m. Friday in the Sweeney Auditorium on the Concord campus. The documentary ...

A physicist, a composer and a creative technician team up to translate the unseen particles around us into a format that human bodies can understand. During his postdoc, particle physicist Teppei ...

They're tiny, invisible, and travel across the universe. And trillions of them just flew through your body. What are they? Neutrinos ‒ and scientists Wednesday announced the discovery of the most ...

Before atomic elements came together, less than a second after the Big Bang, if particles condensed into halos of matter, ...

Scientists recently fired up the world's smallest particle accelerator for the first time. The tiny technological triumph, which is around the size of a small coin, could open the door to a wide range ...
