No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...

For the past half century or so, a theory known by the understated name of the Standard Model has dominated the field of particle physics. This theory provides us with a detailed description of the 17 ...

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

New, precise measurements of already discovered particles are shaking up physics, according to a scientist working at the Large Hadron Collider. By Roger Jones / The Conversation Published May 9, 2022 ...

From the outside, the high-speed collisions of atomic nuclei inside particle accelerators like CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) may seem like they have very little in common with more mundane ...

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have used computer simulations to model how a composite material reacts to loading. They studied a particle model of a pillar of stiffer ...

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

Physicists have found that an elementary particle called the W boson appears to be 0.1% too heavy — a tiny discrepancy that could foreshadow a huge shift in fundamental physics. The measurement, ...

The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) has detected PeV (1015 eV) gamma-ray emission from a pulsar wind ...

High above Earth, in the thin air of the Tibetan Plateau, a giant observatory ...

As a physicist working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern, one of the most frequent questions I am asked is "When are you going to find something?" Resisting the temptation to sarcastically ...
