Scientists studying a mysterious effect called cosmic birefringence—a subtle twist in the polarization of the universe’s oldest light—have developed a new way to reduce uncertainty in how it’s ...

A comprehensive review explores how particles containing heavy quarks (known as charm and bottom hadrons) interact in a hot, dense environment called hadronic matter. The authors have published a ...

We experience the flow of time because it’s a natural outcome of the basic laws of physics. But we may need to build a whole new model to account for gravity’s influence.

The particle collider smashes together atomic nuclei—comprised of particles called protons and neutrons—to break them into their smaller components. Tiffany Bowman / Brookhaven National Laboratory For ...

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something particles simply possess, a built-in feature explained by the Higgs field but not fully illuminated by it. A new wave of research is now ...

A new study broadens the horizon of knowledge about how matter behaves under extreme conditions and helps to solve some great unknowns about the origin of the universe. An international team of ...

When analyzing early universe data, the Standard Model of Cosmology suggests that the universe should be more “clumpy” that what we observe. A new study suggests that interactions between the two most ...
