For the past half century or so, a theory known by the understated name of the Standard Model has dominated the field of particle physics. This theory provides us with a detailed description of the 17 ...

Scientists working at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider may be seeing the strongest hints yet of physics beyond the Standard Model — the decades-old theory that explains the fundamental particles and ...

Physicists know that their elegant theoretical description of forces and particles — the standard model of particle physics — ...

The smallest pieces of the universe are governed by a beautiful and mind-blowing set of rules: the “Standard Model.” The Standard Model explains the behavior of all 17 discovered particles, and it ...

Jason Bono was one of the researchers behind a major scientific moment — when tiny particles unexpectedly unraveled one of the most important and successful theories in physics. Bono, who earned his ...

The Standard Model. What a dull name for the most accurate scientific theory known to human beings. More than a quarter of the Nobel Prizes in physics of the last century are direct inputs to or ...

The hypothetical faster-than-light particle known as the tachyon may marry with the special theory of relativity, according to a team of physicists, making its existence more plausible. Tachyons are a ...

No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...

From its resting place outside Chicago, Illinois, a long-defunct experiment is threatening to throw the field of elementary particles off balance. Physicists have toiled for ten years to squeeze a ...
