Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

Astronomers found evidence that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, hinting at a "fundamental breakthrough" that challenges our understanding of how the universe evolved.

An obscure theory of elementary particles proved to be key to China’s re-emergence as a scientific nation after the Cultural Revolution had stalled its development. Robert P Crease finds out more from ...

After a decade-long analysis, a collaboration of physicists has made the most precise measurement of the mass of a key particle – and it may unravel physics as we know it. The new measurement differs ...
