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

Astronomers have detected a rare and extremely high-energy particle falling to Earth from space. Named Amaterasu, after the sun goddess in Japanese mythology, it is one of the highest-energy cosmic ...

The world’s largest particle accelerator has been supplying heat to thousands of homes in ...

Researchers have detected one of the highest-energy particles ever falling to Earth. Cosmic rays are high-energy particles that come from sources in space such as the sun, but this recent detection is ...

A deep-sea neutrino telescope has detected the most energetic neutrino ever recorded. The particle, known as a "ghost particle," was about 30 times more active than the previous record-holder.

Particle and high energy physics is dedicated to unravelling the fundamental constituents of matter and the forces governing their interactions. This field encompasses experimental efforts at the ...

A burst of high-energy radiation has struck Spain’s newest military communications satellite, jolting a flagship program that Madrid has promoted as a cornerstone of its secure links with deployed ...

Researchers have discovered that superconducting nanowire photon detectors can also be used as highly accurate particle detectors, and they have found the optimal nanowire size for high detection ...

Nuclear and particle physics, almost synonymous with high-energy physics, is an important subfield of experimental physics. A wide range of studies in this domain are classified as scattering ...
