Symmetry features

Scientists are using a plastic robot and hair-thin pieces of metal to ready a magnet that will hunt for new physics.

Higgs bosons should mass-produce bottom quarks. So why is it so hard to see it happening?

A theory of everything would unite the four forces of nature, but is such a thing possible?

Project Poltergeist led to the discovery of the ghostly particle. Sixty years later, scientists are confronted with more neutrino mysteries than ever before.

Neutrinos are a puzzling mixture of three flavors and three masses. Scientists want to measure it down to the last drop.

Quantum physics says everything is made of particles, but what does that actually mean?

Simulations are key to showing how neutrinos help stars go supernova.

What are all of the symbols in Fermilab’s unofficial seal?

The Planck scale sets the universe’s minimum limit, beyond which the laws of physics break.

A reader asks, “If atoms are mostly empty space, then why does anything feel solid?” James Beacham, a researcher with the ATLAS Experiment Group at Ohio State University, explains in this two-minute video.
