The theorized unseen structure of spacetime could also explain of the outstanding questions about the accelerating expansion of the universe.

After a decade-long analysis, a collaboration of physicists has made the most precise measurement of the mass of a key particle – and it may unravel physics as we know it. The new measurement differs ...

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in equations rather than explained from first principles. A new proposal argues that ...

Particle physics has always proceeded in two ways, of which new particles is one. The other is by making very precise measurements that test the predictions of theories and look for deviations from ...

It’s often said in science that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Recent measurements of the mass of the elementary particle known as the W boson provide a useful case study as to ...

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 ...

As well as particle physics, neutrinos touch astroparticle physics, cosmology, astrophysics, nuclear physics and geophysics, ...

Bizarre particle gains or loses mass depending on direction it travels By Michael Irving December 11, 2024 Scientists have accidentally discovered a strange particle that has mass when it moves in one ...

The W boson, one of the tiniest, most elementary particles in the known universe is causing a big ruckus in the field of particle physics. According to the Standard Model, W bosons (together with ...

The Standard Model of Particle Physics has withstood rigorous test after test over many decades, and the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 provided the last observational piece of the puzzle. But ...
