Fundamental physics

A tour of 10 of this year’s popular science books delivers dark matter, black holes and a hefty dose of Einstein.

An international jury and more than 3800 public votes determined the winners of this year's Global Physics Photowalk competition.

Dark matter hunters of the LUX collaboration have ruled out a larger-than-ever range of properties that hypothetical dark matter particles might have had.

Scientists have successfully tested the first prototype camera for the Cherenkov Telescope Array.

To learn more about the particles they collide, physicists turn their attention to a less destructive type of collision in the LHC.

Scientists don’t yet know what dark matter is made of, but they are full of ideas.

Matter and antimatter behave differently. Scientists hope that investigating how might someday explain why we exist.

Researchers are searching for a quantum theory of gravity that could help answer fundamental questions about the universe, from the very first moments after the Big Bang to the physics of black holes.

It’s not easy being clean.

KIPAC's Leonardo Senatore was among three Stanford professors to receive awards during a star-studded award ceremony Sunday night. Karl Deisseroth (pictured) took a top honor with a $3 million Breakthrough Prize in life science.

New technology and new thinking are pushing the dark matter hunt to lower and lower masses.

Not only are we made of fundamental particles, we also produce them and are constantly bombarded by them throughout the day.
