A particle detector flying above Antarctica has recently caused a stir in the particle physics world after it detected highly ...

Dark matter, although not visible, is believed to make up most of the total mass of the universe. One theory suggests that ...

IonQ (NYSE: IONQ), a leading commercial quantum computing and networking company, today announced the first known simulation using a quantum computer of a process called "neutrinoless double-beta ...

On June 11, the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine announced the result of a three-year study to set a ...

Nearly a decade ago, a detector searching for ghostly cosmic particles found two anomalous signals in Antarctic ice. But ...

A mystery signal detected high in the sky above Antarctica defies current models of physics and could represent a new particle, scientists say.

Mysterious radio signals detected emanating from Antarctica's ice have left particle physicists baffled. The pulses were ...

Scientists propose a hunt for tauonium, a hypothetical variety of atom that would consist of a tau lepton and its antimatter counterpart, an antitau, Emily Conover reported in “Tauonium” (SN ...

Scientists could create atoms made of tau leptons (illustrated in upper left) using a particle collider that smashes together electrons and positrons (arrows at right and left, respectively). J.-H ...

Leptons can be charged or neutral. The charged leptons are the electron, muon, and tau. Each of these has a neutral neutrino counterpart. Gauge bosons convey forces.
