WASHINGTON, March 17, 2026 — AIP and the American Physical Society are honored to award Charles Thorn with the 2026 Dannie Heineman Prize for Mathematical Physics. Thorn is being recognized for ...

Failure is a necessity in scientific research. In my field of particle physics, breakthroughs are often measured in decades.

This week, a new study suggests that despite living on separate continents, human populations have followed similar patterns ...

In July 2012, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Europe triumphantly announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, the long-sought linchpin of the subatomic world. Interacting with Higgs ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: It used to be thought that bizarre interactions between subatomic particles known as neutrinos could be explained by another type of neutrino. The ...

Current theories suggest that W and Z bosons acquire mass from interactions with the Higgs scalar field, but a new study suggests that the higher dimensional structure of spacetime could be the actual ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward solving a long-standing mystery in particle physics, by finding no sign of the particle many hoped would explain it. An international collaboration of ...

Two papers challenged the existence of theorized particles called sterile neutrinos that might account for mysteries like the cosmos’s dark matter. By Kenneth Chang Just how many types of neutrinos ...

Deep underground in southern China, there is a 20,000-ton tank of liquid that can detect neutrinos. Named JUNO, the detector's first results are in — and they're very promising. When you purchase ...

The University of Chicago welcomed representatives from two leading European institutions on Nov. 19 to mark the expansion of science collaboration into the field of particle physics and cosmology.

In this video, we explore the fundamental forces of nature and their interactions with particles, structured as follows: 0:00 - Intro & Fields 2:22 - Special offer 3:09 - Particles, charges, forces ...
