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

Two ghostlike particles, neutrinos and photons, are emerging as unlikely combatants in a quiet revolution in physics. New calculations suggest these nearly intangible entities may interact in extreme ...

Astronomers found evidence that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, hinting at a "fundamental breakthrough" that ...

Shock wave dynamics and particle interaction constitute a rapidly evolving field that bridges high-speed fluid dynamics with particulate matter behaviour in a variety of industrial and natural ...

Several years ago, scientists discovered that a single microscopic particle could rock back and forth on its own under a ...

Somehow, neutrinos went from just another random particle to becoming tiny monsters that require multi-billion-dollar facilities to understand. And there’s just enough mystery surrounding them that we ...

BERLIN, Germany – January 17, 2026 — Neutrinovoltaic, a Berlin-based research and information platform focused on ...

New research conducted by nuclear physicists is using a method that connects theories of gravitation to interactions among the smallest particles of matter. The result is insight into the strong force ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In the fall of 2022, a Princeton University graduate student named Carolina Figueiredo stumbled onto a massive coincidence. She ...
