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 … ...

The particle physics department (DPNC) studies the fundamental structures and laws of nature from the largest dimensions in the Universe to the smallest of the microcosm by using three complementary ...

Particle physics describes the universe at the smallest scale. This includes subatomic particles, like protons and neutrons, as well as elementary particles, like quarks and electrons, which make ...

Matter-antimatter asymmetry puzzles physicists. Learn how the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) may find answers.

However, up until now, evidence of particle acceleration was only found for the high-mass systems. For example, the microquasar SS 433, which was recently revealed to be one of the most powerful ...

How can the tiniest particles and the vast structure of the universe be explained using the same kind of mathematics? This puzzle is the focus of recent research by mathematicians Claudia Fevola ...

There's a significant imbalance between matter and antimatter in our universe, but a strange particle called "the Majoran" could finally explain it, an audacious new study suggests.

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 ...

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 main acceleration tube is approximately 0.02 inches (0.5 millimeter) long, which is 54 million times shorter than the 16.8-mile-long (27 kilometers) ring that makes up CERN 's Large Hadron ...

A new study published in Scientific Reports simulates particle creation in an expanding universe using IBM quantum computers, demonstrating the digital quantum simulation of quantum field theory ...
