In this video, we explore the Standard Model of particle physics, detailing the quantum field theories that describe ...

A major physics experiment has uncovered evidence for a strange new form of matter, where a fleeting particle gets trapped ...

Physicists know that their elegant theoretical description of forces and particles – the Standard Model – must be incomplete, ...

Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that has long posed a problem: According to physicists’ best current ...

According to our current understanding of the universe, equal amounts of matter and antimatter should have been produced in the Big Bang, then both annihilated. However, the universe is dominated by ...

A team of theoretical physicists has proposed a new particle existing in a warped fifth dimension that could bridge ordinary matter with dark matter. The model, published in The European Physical ...

Javier Duarte kicked off his scientific career by witnessing the biggest particle physics event in decades. On July 4, 2012, scientists at the laboratory CERN near Geneva announced the discovery of ...

New research suggests a particle inside an atom can lose mass, offering a fresh look at how matter works at the smallest ...

Recent findings from research we have been carrying out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern in Geneva suggest that we might be closing in on signs of undiscovered physics. If confirmed, these ...
