In this video, we explore the Standard Model of particle physics, detailing the quantum field theories that describe ...

The model we have for understanding the universe’s fundamental particles is a bit like a gearbox: one tiny change to any one single particles’ properties throws off the mechanics of the other ...

In our three-dimensional space, elementary particles neatly filter into either bosons or fermions. But in lower dimensions, that distinction gets a bit murky.

With big outstanding questions and little hints of new physics, physicists are now rethinking some of their most fundamental assumptions. For centuries, scientists thought the universe was filled with ...

The masses of fundamental particles such as the Z and W bosons could have arisen from the twisted geometry of hidden dimensions, a new theoretical paper has demonstrated. The work has outlined a way ...

College of Arts and Sciences (A&S) physicists at Syracuse University have launched a new tracking device to research the fundamental forces and particles in the universe. The device, known as the ...

In the world of fundamental particles, you are either a fermion or a boson. But a new study shows that one can behave as the other as they move from one place to another. Researchers from the ...

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 of ...

Some of the most fundamental questions about our universe are also the most difficult to answer. Questions like what gives matter its mass, what is the invisible 96 percent of the universe made of, ...

String theory attempts to unify all forces and particles in the universe using vibrating strings. It aims to explain the Standard Model of particle physics, which is incomplete. String theory predicts ...

New, precise measurements of already discovered particles are shaking up physics, according to a scientist working at the Large Hadron Collider. By Roger Jones / The Conversation Published May 9, 2022 ...
