Scientists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have confirmed the existence of a massless particle, long theorized ...

The universe's matter-antimatter asymmetry, where matter significantly outweighs antimatter despite their theoretically equal creation at the Big Bang, remains a major unsolved problem in physics.

Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that has long posed a problem: According to physicists’ best current ...

For various, typically historical reasons, even the best physicists claim things that sound egregious to modern observers. That doesn’t necessarily mean these ideas are completely useless—if anything, ...

Embark with Dr. Lincoln on a search for a theory of everything - a simple and comprehensive explanation for all physical phenomena in the universe. Confront the incompatibility of our two best ...

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in equations rather than explained from first principles. A new proposal argues that ...
