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 ...

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 theorized unseen structure of spacetime could also explain of the outstanding questions about the accelerating expansion of the universe.

As well as particle physics, neutrinos touch astroparticle physics, cosmology, astrophysics, nuclear physics and geophysics, ...

The standard model of particle physics is beginning to show cracks. A fundamental particle called the muon has been caught behaving strangely, and new experimental results from Fermilab in Illinois ...

Particle physicists are building innovative machine-learning algorithms to enhance Monte Carlo simulations with the power of AI. Originally developed nearly a century ago by physicists studying ...

After years of careful investigation, researchers working on the Micro Booster Neutrino Experiment (MicroBooNE) have determined that a ...

The standard model of particle physics is often illustrated as a simple grid showing the 17 basic particles (shown above). But an alternative way of visualising it reveals the complex rules that ...

Network Physics in Mountain View, Calif., this week launched a network management appliance that relies on high-energy particle physics experiments to help companies better manage large corporate ...

The particle in question, known as a sterile neutrino, was supposed to only interact with gravity and have zero interactions ...

This month marks the 10th anniversary of the discovery of the Higgs boson, a true “Holy Grail” of science that had eluded detection for almost 50 years. But what exactly is this particle, and why is ...
