What the 'charming penguin' glitch means for our understanding of physics ...

The ATLAS collaboration, the large research consortium involved in analyzing data collected by the ATLAS particle collider at CERN, recently observed the electroweak production of two Z bosons and two ...

Scientists have proposed a new class of star, one with an exotic stellar engine that would emit mostly hard-to-detect neutrinos instead of photons of light like regular stars. These objects, dubbed ...

Recent findings from research we have been carrying out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern in Geneva suggest that we ...

Today, the universe as we know it is governed by four fundamental forces: the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, electromagnetism, and gravity. However, these four forces aren’t exactly as ...

Physicists propose there may be a new stage for some dying stars. Dubbed electroweak stars, they are fueled by the conversion of quarks to leptons, which prevents or staves off collapse into a black ...

Physicists in the US claim that there may be “electroweak” stars lurking in the universe. Such stars are, the researchers say, what certain heavy stars could become once they have consumed their ...

An unexpected imbalance in how particles containing the heaviest quarks decay might reveal exotic influences — and perhaps help to explain why matter, rather than antimatter, dominates the Universe.

When small stars die, they collapse to form neutron stars in which the Pauli exclusion principle prevents further collapse. Anything more massive eventually becomes a black hole (with the cut off at ...

Electromagnetism and the weak nuclear force are two distinct fundamental forces. That wasn’t always the case. How many fundamental forces are there in our universe? For particle physicists, answering ...

Scientists have proposed a new class of star, one that has an exotic stellar engine that would emit mostly hard-to-detect neutrinos instead of photons of light like regular stars. Subscribe to read ...

We don’t know for sure, but some of the massive stars in this nebula could be electroweak stars. For some stellar objects, the final phase before or instead of collapsing into a black hole may be what ...
