Since Einstein, physicists have found that certain entities can reach superluminal (that means "faster-than-light") speeds and still follow the cosmic rules laid down by special relativity.

But only in the last 70 years have we known for certain they were there. In 1956, physicists Clyde Cowan and Frederick Reines ...

Astronomers found evidence that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, hinting at a "fundamental breakthrough" that ...

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

You can't see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us.

"WIMPs are still the leading candidate for dark matter, but billions of dollars of experiments have been done, only getting ...

They're called ghost particles for a reason. They're everywhere—trillions of them constantly stream through everything: our bodies, our planet, even the entire cosmos. These so-called neutrinos are ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: It used to be thought that bizarre interactions between subatomic particles known as neutrinos could be explained by another type of neutrino. The ...

Louis E. Brus, a chemist and Nobel laureate who discovered quantum dots, tiny crystals that emit various colors of light ...

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...

The joint NOvA-T2K analysis achieved unprecedented precision in measuring neutrino mass, a key step toward understanding ...

Scientists are redirecting their hunt for the universe's missing matter from minute particles to large, star-sized, near-invisible structures. For a long time, it was hypothesized that dark matter, ...
