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 ...

The universe is a complex and intricate place. We can move easily through air and yet not through a wall. The sun transmutes one element to another, bathing our planet in warmth and light. Radio waves ...

The Standard Model of particles and interactions is remarkably successful for a theory everyone knows is missing big pieces. It accounts for the everyday stuff we know like protons, neutrons, ...

Can the discovery of the Higgs boson particle help with time travel?,” asked a young Vernon Area Public Library patron who attended the Science Explorers program. Quarks, leptons and bosons are ...

The Standard Model, which emerged in the 1970s, is a theoretical foundation that explains the world and matter at the very smallest levels of reality: elementary particles so minute they boggle the ...

“I was actually shaking,” said Mitesh Patel, a particle physicist at Imperial College, London, as he describes the moment he saw the results. “I realised this was probably the most exciting thing I’ve ...

For many years a theory called supersymmetry offered the most compelling solution to the hierarchy problem in particle physics, but now it has a rival First let us review the Standard Model. In many ...

New physics research has helped shed light on how our universe works. Scientists have found evidence that the Higgs boson -- a fundamental particle proposed in 1964 and discovered in 2012 -- is the ...

For the first time, scientists from the CMS experiment on the Large Hadron Collider at CERN have succeeded in finding evidence for the direct decay of the Higgs boson elementary particle into fermions ...
