Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

Two ghostlike particles, neutrinos and photons, are emerging as unlikely combatants in a quiet revolution in physics. New ...

Energetic particles that arise when cosmic rays hit Earth’s atmosphere could help assess hidden damage to buildings in Ukraine after the war. Primordial black holes may be exploding throughout the ...

Recently, I watched a fellow particle physicist talk about a calculation he had pushed to a new height of precision. His tool? A 1980s-era computer program called FORM. Particle physicists use some of ...

Once a surprise to physicists, these particles are useful tools inside and outside the realm of particle physics.

Scientists in the particle physics community are bringing environmental and climate issues to the table in discussions about future research. Using a particle collider requires a lot of energy. For ...
