After years of confusion, a new study confirms the proton is tinier than once thought. That enables a test of the standard model of particle physics.

Phase shift: Images showing interference patterns (top) and a “Wilson loop” (bottom) were produced by the researchers to confirm the presence of non-Abelian gauge fields. (Courtesy: MIT) For the first ...

A virtual laboratory under development at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro aims to let students experiment with physics concepts without physically being in a lab. Computer simulations ...

Perhaps one of the most famous experiments in physics has been giving us the wrong message all these years. For nearly two centuries, the double-slit experiment has been providing a direct visual ...

The long-awaited first results from the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory show fundamental particles called muons behaving in a way that is not predicted by scientists’ best ...
