Recent findings from research we have been carrying out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern in Geneva suggest that we ...

For years, one tiny mismatch in particle physics carried outsized hopes. The muon, a heavier and short-lived cousin of the ...

A tiny discrepancy in particle physics has loomed for decades as an exciting possible crack in one of science's most ...

In 1930, a young physicist named Carl D. Anderson was tasked by his mentor with measuring the energies of cosmic rays—particles arriving at high speed from outer space. Anderson built an improved ...

While the result strengthens confidence in the Standard Model to 11 decimal places, it also narrows the space where new physics could be hiding. Some data-driven approaches still disagree with lattice ...

A neglected force produced by neutrinos and other particles helps atomic physics measurements align with predictions of the ...

It’s often said in science that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Recent measurements of the mass of the elementary particle known as the W boson provide a useful case study as to ...

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 ...

A tiny discrepancy in particle physics has loomed for decades as an exciting possible crack in one of science’s most successful theories, hinting at unknown forces or quantum objects. Now, an ...
