The Big Bang should have produced equal amounts of matter and antimatter, which would have annihilated each other in a ...

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 ...

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 … ...

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 universe’s very existence could hinge on one particle so small it almost escaped discovery. Construction warning issued ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Louisiana Tech University’s Physics Department within the College of Engineering and Science has been awarded a three-year, ...

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 ...

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 ...
