In physics, there are two great pillars of thought that don't quite fit together. The Standard Model of particle physics ...

Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in ...

Physicists have identified an algebraic structure underlying the messy mathematics of particle collisions. Some hope it will lead to a more elegant theory of the natural world.

Discover the fascinating world of particle physics — the most fundamental building blocks of the universe and the forces that connect them.

Particle physicists in search of the next theory of reality are consulting a mathematical structure that they know will never fail: a table of possibilities known as the S-matrix.

A new study proposes that discovering a single exotic particle at the LHC could falsify string theory as we know it.

The Large Hadron Collider hasn’t seen any new particles since the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012. Here’s what researchers are trying to do about it.

Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity was published more than a century ago and and it could save Earth from a black ...

Physicists are on an ever urgent quest to find a fuller understanding of what makes the cosmos tick, which they call a theory of everything ...

The collision spun off a W-minus boson, an elementary particle that carries the so-called “weak force,” one of four fundamental forces in physics. This phenomenon is called a Glashow resonance.

Scientists call the particle collisions and interactions they study “particle events.” A particle event is a particle collision or interaction that is observed by some type of particle detector.
