Hubble revolutionized astronomy more than once. Here's what we can expect from the James Webb Space Telescope.
The key problem with the dark matter hypothesis is that nobody knows what form dark matter might take.
Scientists have found three new examples of a very exotic form of matter made of quarks. They can yield insights into the early Universe.
Higgs boson
On July 4, we celebrate the tenth anniversary of the discovery of the Higgs boson, the missing piece of the Standard Model of particle physics.
neutrinos
Experiments cannot confirm what theory predicts about neutrinos. And particle physicists have no idea why.
particle accelerator
Giant particle accelerators aren't a waste of money. They are essential for understanding the Universe.
