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 ...

Scientists reviewed three experiments that hint at a phenomenon beyond the Standard Model of particle physics, outlines a new report. To anyone but a physicist, it sounds like something out of "Star ...

Researchers from the CMS collaboration have analysed data from proton-proton collisions in an attempt to find cracks in the Standard Model of particle physics The CMS detector at CERN has continues to ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

In order to make sense of the physical world, scientists have worked hard to discover theories and principles that govern the physics of matter. This is what’s called the Standard Model of Physics, ...

Editor's Note: This story was updated on Friday Sept. 11 at 2:45 p.m. E.T. Trouble is brewing in the orderly world of subatomic physics. New evidence from the world's largest atom smasher, the Large ...

We all like hearing about the biggest and the smallest, the heaviest and the lightest, as these categories represent the extremes of the universe…and they usually they are great for comparisons. Meet ...

For decades physicists have sought signs of misbehaving particles—evidence of subtle cracks in the “Standard Model” of particle physics, the dominant theory describing the most fundamental building ...

Fleeting glance: decay of a beauty quark involving an electron and positron as observed by LHCb. (Courtesy: CERN) A hint of the possible existence of a hypothetical particle called a leptoquark has ...

Physicists have found the first direct evidence for the last of the 12 subatomic particles considered the fundamental building blocks of matter. A research team from the United States, Japan, Korea, ...
