An international team of physicists claim they may have found evidence for a long-theorized type of subatomic particle called the axion. The axion was first suggested in the 1970s to explain ...

It was predicted four decades ago, but only found now. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Scientists have finally found traces of ...

Physicists have spent decades chasing two grand technological dreams: harnessing fusion power and uncovering the nature of ...

The Standard Model of particle physics does a decent enough job of explaining the universe, but it still has some holes in it. Now, a new study outlines how one hypothetical particle, the axion, may ...

ANN ARBOR--A hypothetical particle called the axion could solve one of physics' great mysteries: the excess of matter over antimatter, or why we're here at all. According to the Standard Model of ...

The search for a hypothetical subatomic particle that could signal new physics just narrowed a bit — thanks to the light swirling around a gargantuan black hole in another galaxy. Now, the particulars ...

Physicists often ponder in an unusual way: they use one unsolved problem as a hypothetic solution to another, in the hope of resolving both. The strong CP problem is the perfect example. In the ...

Physics has a bit of a messy problem: There's matter missing in our universe. Something is there that we can't see, but scientists can detect. "When we look at how stars move in galaxies, they move as ...
