Every time I write about particle physics, I encounter a moment of uncertainty about a quantity that, at first glance, ought to be clear. How many kinds of elementary particles should I say there are?

Physicists know that their elegant theoretical description of forces and particles — the standard model of particle physics — must be incomplete, because there are a host of phenomena it cannot ...

Physicists may have just cracked open a hidden side of the quantum world. For decades, every known particle was thought to belong to one of two categories — bosons or fermions — but researchers have ...

In short: X-Energy raised $1.02 billion in the largest nuclear IPO on record, pricing at $23 (21% above range) on the Nasdaq, with shares surging 31% on opening to imply a $12 billion market cap. The ...

A pair of rare particles produced in high-energy proton collisions may be the clearest evidence yet that mass can emerge from empty space. The finding could shed light on one of the biggest puzzles in ...

Ever since Donald Trump took office and declared himself a “pro-crypto president,” FTX’s disgraced founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, has been working to convince the administration that he’s a Republican ...

It takes backbone to solve an enigma like the “falling cat” problem. By Taylor Mitchell Brown In 1894, the French physiologist Étienne-Jules Marey tried to resolve a particularly vexing question in ...

Abstract: Particle filters (PFs) are widely used in terrain-aided navigation (TAN) to provide accurate positioning for long-range autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). However, the particles may fall ...

When you drill down into the very fabric of reality—where elementary particles make up the matter that is you and me and everything around us in three-dimensional space—things get divided nicely into ...

Besides being able to quickly get rid of food scraps, what else do you know about your garbage disposal? You may have learned the hard way what not to put in it—potato peels, fruit pits, chicken skin, ...
