Jason Bono was one of the researchers behind a major scientific moment — when tiny particles unexpectedly unraveled one of the most important and successful theories in physics. Bono, who earned his ...

Roger Jones receives funding from STFC. I am a member of the ATLAS Collaboration As a physicist working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern, one of the most frequent questions I am asked is ...

Dominika Vasilkova receives funding from the Leverhulme Trust. Ce Zhang receives funding from the Leverhulme Trust. Elia Bottalico receives funding from the Leverhulme Trust. Saskia Charity receives ...

Is the standard model of particle physics complete? originally appeared on Quora: the knowledge sharing network where compelling questions are answered by people with unique insights. Answer by Jay ...

NPR's Ayesha Rascoe speaks to Esra Barlas Yücel, a researcher at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, about Fermilab's most precise measurements of the muon particle's magnetic wobble. It's ...

The Standard Model is our best theory for how the universe operates, but there are some missing pieces that physicists are struggling to find. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...

Physicists are eyeing charged gravitinos—ultra-heavy, stable particles from supergravity theory—as possible Dark Matter candidates. Unlike axions or WIMPs, these particles carry electric charge but ...

We’ve created a new way to explore the fundamental constituents of the universe. [Editor’s note: The full, interactive map is available below.] All of nature springs from a handful of components — the ...

It is unusual for TV news to open with a story about physics, but it happened on July 4, 2012, when all around the world stations chose to devote prime time to breaking news from Geneva: a search of ...

Matter and antimatter are like mirror opposites: except for their electric charge, they are the same in every respect. Well, almost the same—very occasionally matter and antimatter behave differently ...

Physicists have found that an elementary particle called the W boson appears to be 0.1% too heavy — a tiny discrepancy that could foreshadow a huge shift in fundamental physics. The measurement, ...

Researchers have developed a novel high-energy particle detection instrumentation approach that leverages the power of quantum sensors -- devices capable of precisely detecting single particles. To ...
