(via SciShow) The Standard Model of Particle Physics is the best theory scientists have to explain how the universe works on subatomic scales. But just because it's the "best" doesn't mean there ...
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 ...
The Standard Model is the guiding light of particle physics. At its barest essence, the theory describes the 17 fundamental particles (six quarks, six leptons, and five bosons) that make up normal ...
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 ...
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 ...
The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than ...
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 ...
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 ...
