Here’s how it works. The Standard Model of physics is the theory of particles, fields and the fundamental forces that govern them. It tells us about how families of elementary particles group ...

The model was built through the 20th century on the foundations of quantum mechanics, the strange theory that describes how particles behave at the tiniest scales. The Standard Model explains ...

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

We’ll help you make sense of it all—join Pop Mech Pro. Conceptual illustration showing the Standard Model particles with their heavier superpartners introduced by the supersymmetry (SUSY ...

The most anticipated particle physics result of recent years is here—but the real news came one week before: the “muon g–2 ...

Javier Duarte kicked off his scientific career by witnessing the biggest particle physics event in decades. On July 4, 2012, scientists at the laboratory CERN near Geneva announced the discovery ...

For several decades after the invention of the Standard Model, particles seemed to obey this rule. Things started to change in 2004, when the E821 experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory on ...

with particles that interact more strongly having larger masses. The Standard Model has withstood rigorous test after test over many decades, and the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 provided ...

Final results from a long-running U.S.-based experiment show a tiny particle continues to act strangely -- but that’s still ...
