Research write-ups, analysis and explainers, newest first. Every article is grounded in primary literature and the numbers link to the papers they came from.
Francis Halzen’s Nobel Prize highlights a new way to study cosmic accelerators. IceCube detects their elusive neutrinos, but a detector signal is only the first step. Identifying a source requires…
A muonium gravity test would probe an atom containing a second-generation antilepton. Producing a suitable beam is one step. Extracting a reliable acceleration from microseconds of flight is another, with…
ATLAS has published strong evidence that the two Z bosons produced in a Higgs decay are entangled, rejecting an unentangled alternative at 4.7 sigma. The result is solid, and ATLAS…
It is the most precisely tested theory in science, and it still will not tell us what it means. What quantum mechanics says, the experiments that forced it on physicists,…
KM3NeT inferred an energy of about 220 PeV for a neutrino recorded in 2023. IceCube’s September 2026 follow-up found no supporting emission from its direction. The event’s energy remains uncertain,…
For thirty years supersymmetry was the safe bet for what comes after the Standard Model. It predicted a heavier partner for every known particle, it solved several deep problems at…
In 59 days of running, JUNO caught 2,379 antineutrinos and pinned down two oscillation parameters 1.6 times more precisely than every previous experiment combined. It was not built for either…
BESIII’s missing K*(892) decay signal supports a flavour-singlet argument for X(2370). It does not uniquely label the state as a glueball. The limit’s scope, production models and an exploratory hybrid…
Between early 2025 and mid-2026, quantum processors have gone from simulating toy models of particle physics to watching confinement, string breaking, and hadron scattering play out in real time. These…
A fourth neutrino that feels no weak force explained thirty years of anomalies. MicroBooNE excluded it at 95% confidence and KATRIN found no kink in 36 million electrons. The eV-scale…
Some cosmological fits push the total neutrino mass towards or below the minimum required by oscillations. KATRIN measures a different effective mass. Understanding the tension means keeping the datasets, confidence…
The High-Luminosity LHC upgrade has begun. Here is what CERN is tearing out, what is going in, and the Higgs measurement the collider is being rebuilt to catch.
