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 ...

The Standard Model of particle physics explains the electromagnetic, nuclear strong, and nuclear weak forces. It describes ...

Since its inception in 2008, the LHC (large hadron collider) at CERN has been a key player in pushing the boundaries of ...

Why matter dominates over antimatter in our universe has long been a major cosmic mystery to physicists. A new finding by the ...

A group of physicists appointed by the CERN Council is now conducting a ‘strategy update’, soliciting input from the physics ...

We think of matter as being made up from three main particles – protons, neutrons and electrons. However the full set of matter particles is the fermions. This has a much greater variety of sub ...

Like how it has failed in its primary goal of incorporating gravity into the standard model of elementary particles. How its inability to be experimentally tested makes it "permanently safe" from ...

Particles are known to have identical mass and opposite charges with respect to ... While it has long been expected that CP ...

Each of particles in the standard model has an associated antiparticle. When a particle and antiparticle combine to ‘annihilate’ each other the only result is energy. In hospitals, radioactive ...

The CMS collaboration at CERN has observed an unexpected feature in data produced by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which ...

Through the weak nuclear force, one quark flavor can transmute into another. However, current data and theory indicate that ...
