Recently, physicists at CERN announced that they’d re-discovered an anomaly in the way that certain particles (called B mesons) decay. The ...

Virtual particles, depending on who you ask, are either a yet-unsolved quirk of the mathematics that we use to calculate physics, or a type...

Fusion reactors, according to a recently published paper, could produce theoretical particles that might make up dark matter. More specifica...

Why does light exist? It's a consequence of what physicists call a "gauge symmetry" and in today's video I do my best to ...

It’s a new year, and according to a new paper, physics is headed into a new era. Over the past few years, the field of physics has seen a m...

Particle accelerator technology has just gotten bigger and bigger over the years, making physics more and more expensive. Luckily, researche...

In 2006 and 2014, the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) detected two mysterious bursts of particles rushing upwards into space f...

When I started my career in physics, I didn’t plan on becoming particle physicists’ enemy number one, but somehow I have. Here’s how it all ...

CERN wants to build a new particle collider which will smash protons together at roughly 6 times the energies seen at the Large Hadron Colli...

This is a comment on a recent video by Matt O'Dowd. I find it extremely distressing that we are still discussing this even though it...

In 2020, a group of MIT researchers detected an anomaly in the nuclei of ytterbium atoms. They said that the nuclei’s strange behavior might...

Magnets always have two poles. Meaning, if you break a magnet in half, both of those halves will also have two poles. But some physicists th...

According to the incoming director of CERN, Mark Thomson, the large hadron collider (LHC) can tell us whether or not the universe will fall ...

Up until last week, physicists believed that matter is made up of only two types of particles: those whose spin has full-integer values (bos...

Fermilab has spent almost $2 billion on its Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE). Physicists have claimed that the experiment is wort...

String theory is one of the leading theories of everything, but it’s been criticized for being impossible to prove wrong – if it can’t be fa...

Ten years ago, physicists discovered an anomaly that was dubbed the “ATOMKI anomaly”. The decays of certain atomic nuclei disagreed with ou...

CERN is turning 70 this month. A good occasion to look at their plans for building a particle collider even bigger than the Large Hadron Col...

One of the United States' most famous national labs, Fermilab in Chicago, has been in trouble for several years. Now a group of whistleb...

A small experiment aboard the International Space Station, the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, found a crazy new physics anomaly: They have now...
