For now, the most likely explanation is that the particle is just a high-energy neutrino, but we’re likely to learn more about these elusive particles when KM3NeT is fully online.

A new study posits that this muon might be the result of a dark matter particle that decayed as it passed through the Earth, which would also explain why the IceCube Observatory in the South Pole ...

NEWS 05 June 2025 Quantum computers tackle unexplored particle physics Two quantum-simulation experiments make a step towards understanding the forces between elementary particles.

There are a number of techniques currently used by the pharmaceutical industry for particle size determination. However, most of these are applicable in a visible particle range (> 25 μm) and are ...

Final results from a long-running U.S.-based experiment announced Tuesday show a tiny particle continues to act strangely — but that’s still good news for the laws of physics as we know them.

See where Canadian wildfire smoke and a plume of dust from the Sahara Desert in Africa will hover over the U.S. East Coast this week.
