After a decade of painstaking measurements, scientists have delivered a major plot twist in particle physics: a ...

This discovery is important because it ruled out a major possibility for new physics beyond the Standard Model.

In 1963, Maria Goeppert Mayer won the Nobel Prize in physics for describing the layered, shell-like structures of atomic nuclei. No woman has won since. One of the many women who, in a different world ...
