New results from the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab found no evidence of a hypothetical fourth flavor of neutrino ...

For three decades, a riddle has followed neutrinos, the near-weightless particles that stream through Earth by the trillions ...

A decade-long investigation into puzzling neutrino behavior has now ruled out one of the most widely discussed explanations: the sterile neutrino.

Sebastian Mizera just joined the physics department as an assistant professor, researching quantum field theory.

Neutrinos are tiny subatomic particles that barely interact with matter. They can pass through planets without stopping. The ...

The supercollider is now being used to explore quantum phenomena, including a “magic” form of quantum entanglement.

University of Chicago scientists have solved a 20-year-old puzzle in particle physics using data from an experiment conducted for an entirely different purpose. Physicists had long known that ...

The smallest pieces of the universe are governed by a beautiful and mind-blowing set of rules: the “Standard Model.” The Standard Model explains the behavior of all 17 discovered particles, and it ...

From its resting place outside Chicago, Illinois, a long-defunct experiment is threatening to throw the field of elementary particles off balance. Physicists have toiled for ten years to squeeze a ...

A new experiment captures a single parcel of light morphing between wave and particle. Published in the April Physical Review A, the experiment dissects a light pulse associated with a single photon ...
