In this video, we explore the Standard Model of particle physics, detailing the quantum field theories that describe fundamental particles and forces in the universe. Topics covered include: - ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 Committee on Elementary-Particle Physics was convened by the National Research Council's Board on Physics and Astronomy to assess the field of elementary-particle physics as part of the survey ...

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 ...

As a physicist working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, one of the most frequent questions I am asked is, “When are you going to find something?” Resisting the temptation to sarcastically ...

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, ...

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 ...

Roger Jones receives funding from STFC. I am a member of the ATLAS Collaboration As a physicist working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern, one of the most frequent questions I am asked is ...
