Our present understanding of fundamental physics is built on the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics and General Relativity (GR), Einstein’s theory of gravitation. Particle physics is described by ...

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 ...

As the review of the European particle physics strategy is underway and planned future particle accelerators are being discussed worldwide, new, improved silicon tracking detector concepts are ...

To learn more about the nature of matter, energy, space, and time, physicists smash high-energy particles together in large accelerator machines, creating sprays of millions of particles per second of ...

If, while spending more time at home, you develop a hankering for more particle physics in your life, look no further. You can learn all about the weird world of subatomic particles by browsing the ...

For decades, a puzzling discrepancy involving a tiny subatomic particle called the muon fueled speculation that physicists might be on the verge of discovering an entirely new force of nature. Now, an ...

Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at that. Earlier, he'd been a scientist, but he realized he wasn't very happy sitting at a lab bench all day. Science writing, ...

Although our universe may seem stable, having existed for a whopping 13.7 billion years, several experiments suggest that it is at risk – walking on the edge of a very dangerous cliff. And it’s all ...

The Standard Model. What a dull name for the most accurate scientific theory known to human beings. More than a quarter of the Nobel Prizes in physics of the last century are direct inputs to or ...

So what is the site about? Particle Clicker is a game that lets players run their own simulated particle-physics experiment. It was created at CERN earlier this year during a 48-hour “hackathon” in ...

Ten years in, the Large Hadron Collider has failed to deliver the exciting discoveries that scientists promised. By Sabine Hossenfelder Dr. Hossenfelder is a research fellow at the Frankfurt Institute ...
