Does gravity act equally on all particles in the universe, or are there differences between ordinary and exotic matter?

Every second, particles zip through your body at nearly the speed of light. They rain down from a storm high in the sky, ...

Physicists at multiple institutions are compressing particle accelerators from facility-scale machines stretching hundreds of meters down to devices that fit on a laboratory bench or even a silicon ...

Some were disappointed at the lack of "new physics" from the LHC. Could forthcoming updates be the accelerator's redemption arc—assuming it needs one?

New experimental results show particles called muons can be corralled into beams suitable for high-energy collisions, paving the way for new physics. New experimental results show particles called ...
