In the literal sense, nothing is simpler than an elementary particle: By definition, a particle is considered to be elementary only if there is no evidence that it is made up of smaller constituents.

In 2024, the T2K Collaboration started to collect new neutrino data following several upgrades to the experiment that included new types of detectors. One of these, called SuperFGD, has a mass of ...

Luther College Physics Professor Todd Pedlar has received his seventh consecutive National Science Foundation (NSF) research grant. Since 2006, NSF grants have allowed Pedlar and Luther students to ...

A consortium of Boston-area researchers hopes to fill in a missing piece of a fundamental theory of physics within the next couple months, when groundbreaking tests are carried out at the world's ...

An experiment deep underground hopes to explain the gallium anomaly. The gallium anomaly dates back 20 years to a confusing experimental finding. The answer could represent a fundamental shift, or it ...
