The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

Scientists at CERN, the home of the Large Hadron Collider, have just observed an astoundingly rare phenomenon at the subatomic level that could lead to a new understanding of the standard model of ...

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in ...

CERN’s calculation of the W boson’s mass agrees with theory, contradicting a previous anomaly that had raised the possibility of new physics. Particle’s surprise mass threatens to upend the standard ...

An analysis of several experiments aimed at detecting the mysterious neutrino has identified a hint of a crack in the ...

If photons possess more quantum states than expected, it would overhaul our understanding of all particle physics – and now physicists have identified a way to test this radical idea in an experiment.

People have little connection to particle physics in their everyday lives. Why should they be interested in it? Modern physics has changed everything. We started to understand the universe as a whole ...
