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 ...

Neutrinos are one of the most enigmatic fundamental particles. The Standard Model of particle physics suggests that these ...

Physicists are finalizing plans for MATHUSLA, a powerful new addition to CERN's Large Hadron Collider that will detect ...

The European physics laboratory CERN is planning to build a mega collider by 2070. Critics say the plan could lead to ruin ...

U.S. National Laboratories (Argonne, Lawrence Livermore, and Oak Ridge) possess three of the world’s fastest exascale ...

Scientists from the KATRIN experiment have achieved the most precise upper limit ever recorded for the mass of the mysterious ...

We think of matter as being made up from three main particles – protons, neutrons and electrons. However the full set of matter particles is the fermions. This has a much greater variety of sub ...

Further knowledge can be gained by trying to understand what happens at higher energies (corresponding to smaller distances), where we may produce new particles or identify discrepancies in the ...

The CMS collaboration at CERN has observed an unexpected feature in data produced by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which ...
