Researchers at CERN in 2012, including its then director-general Rolf-Dieter Heuer (second right) and current ...

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 ...

However, it does not account for the other three fundamental forces. The Standard Model of particle physics explains the electromagnetic, nuclear strong, and nuclear weak forces. It describes the ...

Dark matter could be an entire dark sector of the universe, with its own particles and forces H ave you ever stood by the sea ...

The underlying theoretical construct in particle physics is called the Standard Model and it contains 6 quarks, 6 leptons, 4 gauge bosons, and one scalar boson (the Higgs boson), which interact ...

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

Over the past five decades or so these three theories have been brought together in a ramshackle coalition known as the “standard model” of particle physics. For all the impression that this ...

It was too big of a discrepancy to be written off as a fluke. The findings raised the possibility of cracks in the Standard Model of particle physics, our best explanation of how particles combine and ...

Immense detectors surround the areas where inconceivably small particles slam into one another at super-high energies, collisions that may confirm Arkani-Hamed's predictions about undiscovered ...

Advent of an upstart NOVA: In the '60s and '70s when there were tremendous breakthroughs in particle physics, how would you describe the relationship between theory and experiment? Glashow ...
