If you want to explain what was and what is, you need particle physics. Because everything we see consists of molecules and atoms, and atoms in turn consist of atomic nuclei and electrons. The atomic ...

Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in physics: string theory. This rare particle—never seen before and predicted not ...

In this video, we explore the fundamental forces of nature and their interactions with particles, structured as follows: 0:00 - Intro & Fields 2:22 - Special offer 3:09 - Particles, charges, forces ...

Two independent lines of evidence from the world’s most powerful particle experiments are converging on the same uncomfortable conclusion: something is producing signals that the Standard Model of ...

WASHINGTON — A new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine presents an ambitious and comprehensive long-term vision for the field of particle physics to further our ...

Scientists at Fermilab’s MicroBooNE experiment have ruled out the existence of the elusive sterile neutrino, a particle proposed for decades to explain puzzling neutrino behavior. Their high-precision ...

Notoriously ghostly particles called neutrinos may have revealed a crack in our understanding of all the particles and forces in the universe. The standard model of particle physics, which catalogues ...

PARIS - Europe’s physics lab Cern is planning to build a particle-smasher even bigger than its Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to continue searching for answers to some of the universe’s tiniest yet most ...

In July 2012, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Europe triumphantly announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, the long-sought linchpin of the subatomic world. Interacting with Higgs ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics (MPQ), Garching, in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Randolf Pohl from the Institute for Physics at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU), ...
