Faster-than-light particles have spent decades in physics as both temptation and warning. They offered a way to test the ...

Physicists know that their elegant theoretical description of forces and particles — the standard model of particle physics — ...

Scientists working at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider may be seeing the strongest hints yet of physics beyond the Standard Model — the decades-old theory that explains the fundamental particles and ...

Mark Thomson has taken the reins at CERN just as particle physics confronts some of its deepest unknowns – and faces hard ...

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 ...

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 ...

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A powerful new particle accelerator that could be set up at Fermilab, a telescope to observe the oldest light in the universe, and research to learn more about mysteries such as dark ...

An unexpected behavior in a particle decay seems to disagree with the predictions of the Standard Model, despite its high ...

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 ...
