Imagine trying to prove that 1+1=2, but when you do the calculations, it turns out that the result is off by 0.1%. That scenario is similar to the riddle that’s facing physicists worldwide as they try ...

At a lab in Batavia, Illinois, 200 physicists from seven countries have possibly made the biggest scientific discovery in decades. It involves a subatomic particle called a Muon. It's kind of like an ...

Quantum chromodynamics, or QCD, is the theory of the strong interaction between quarks and gluons. Lattice QCD uses supercomputers to explore 'tantalizing hints' of new physics in discrepancies ...
