For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.

Buried deep below the American Midwest, a new kind of observatory is taking shape that aims to watch some of the most elusive particles in the universe as they stream straight through Earth. The Deep ...

If you drop a light object and a heavy object from a tower, which one reaches the ground first? As you may recall from high school physics, this is a trick question. Neglecting air resistance, they ...

Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever tabletop experiment, researchers at Leiden University in the ...

Argonne’s solenoid facility provides powerful magnetic fields for testing. A limiting factor in modern physics experiments is the precision at which scientists can measure important values, such as ...

For the first time, physicists have used lasers to deep-freeze antimatter. In a new experiment, an ultraviolet laser quelled the thermal jitters of antihydrogen atoms, chilling the antiatoms to just ...

Sam Baron receives funding from the Australian Research Council. The Matter of Everything tells the history of physics through experiments. Any book about the history of science for a general audience ...

A proposed funding program for small- and medium-scale projects reveals insights into the science, logistical challenges, and future of particle physics research. Particle physicists have a reputation ...
