Neutrinos may be nearly invisible, but they play a starring role in the Universe. Long-standing anomalies had hinted at a ...

Physicists have long treated mass as a basic ingredient of nature, something particles simply possess, even as the Higgs ...

High-precision measurements from the KATRIN experiment strongly limit the existence of light sterile neutrinos and narrow the search for new physics. Neutrinos are extremely difficult to detect, yet ...

Classical Mechanics:** Newton’s second law (F = ma) explains the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. The law ...

Students in St. Bernard Prep’s physics program recently traded textbooks for thrust as they wrapped up an ambitious ...

A new measurement by CERN’s ATLAS Collaboration has strengthened evidence that the masses of fundamental particles originate through their interaction with the Higgs field. Building on earlier results ...

“There is also no evidence that immigrants are more likely to commit mass shootings than people born in the United States. In fact, immigrants as a group have lower rates of violent crime than US born ...
