IFLScience traveled to CERN to get an exclusive insight into the crucial theory of particle physics, its limitations, and ...

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 ...

To learn more about the nature of matter, energy, space, and time, physicists smash high-energy particles together in large ...

Physicists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have made a groundbreaking discovery that could reshape our understanding of ...

However, it does not account for the other three fundamental forces. The Standard Model of particle physics explains the ...

Particle physics is the study of the elementary building blocks of matter and radiation and their interaction. The fundamental particles are summarised by the standard model. This includes leptons ...

Over the past five decades or so these three theories have been brought together in a ramshackle coalition known as the “standard model” of particle physics. For all the impression that this ...

The ultimate goal of this research is to confirm the validity of Standard Model down to distances on the order of one millionth of the proton radius or to discover new physics beyond the Standard ...

Quantum electrodynamics (QED) is a cornerstone of the standard model of particle physics. A decade-long ... to map the topological phase diagram under various driving conditions.

The standard model can’t explain dark matter or the unknown particles that determine the nature of the Higgs field, among other major questions in particle physics. But it is not clear from ...
