Noncommutative geometry offers a radical reformulation of traditional geometrical concepts by replacing the classical notion of a manifold with a noncommutative algebra of coordinates. This approach ...

Our best model of particle physics explains only about 5 percent of the universe. The Standard Model is a thing of beauty. It is the most rigorous theory of particle physics, incredibly precise and ...

The LHCb collaboration is far less famous than CMS or ATLAS, but the particles and antiparticles they produce, containing charm and bottom quarks, holds new physics hints that the other detectors ...

Learn about the standard model of particle physics, the most accurate physical theory yet. Our laws of physics are equations of motion, along with some associated constants. We’ve talked about the ...

The universe shouldn’t be here. Everything scientists know about particle physics, summed up in a theory called the Standard Model, suggests that the big bang should have created equal quantities of ...

Researchers at Aalto University have made a significant stride by developing a novel quantum theory of gravity. This new framework describes gravity in a manner that is consistent with the Standard ...

In modern physics, the Higgs boson is famous for giving particles their mass. But a new study suggests an entirely different possibility: mass might come from the geometry of hidden extra dimensions, ...

The Standard Model is a kind of periodic table of the elements for particle physics. But instead of listing the chemical elements, it lists the fundamental particles that make up the atoms that make ...
