A consortium of Boston-area researchers hopes to fill in a missing piece of a fundamental theory of physics within the next couple months, when groundbreaking tests are carried out at the world's ...

Results from KATRIN and MicroBooNE strongly disfavour a light sterile-neutrino explanation of longstanding anomalies.

In a recent experiment, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN produced particles believed to have only existed in the moments following the Big Bang. This remarkable achievement offers valuable ...
