Scientists have used CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to uncover what they say is an entirely new type of particle, dubbed ...

Using the model, they prove mathematically and computationally that the dark matter consists of a neutral particle much heavier than a proton. “This Insight into the particle nature of dark matter ...

The Large Hadron Collider has discovered a new particle, the 80th identified so far by the world's most powerful particle ...

Two recent studies by Professor Stefano Profumo at the University of California, Santa Cruz, propose theories that attempt to answer one of the most fundamental open questions in modern physics: What ...

A new type of particle has been discovered by scientists at CERN using data from last year's run of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The particle opens the door to a "new frontier" of physics, ...

Matter is a lush tapestry, woven from a complex assortment of threads. Diverse subatomic particles weave together to fabricate the universe we inhabit. But a century ago, people believed that matter ...

The Standard Model of particle physics does a decent enough job of explaining the universe, but it still has some holes in it. Now, a new study outlines how one hypothetical particle, the axion, may ...

The universe has cooked up all sorts of bizarre and beautiful forms of matter, from blazing stars to purring cats, out of just three basic ingredients. Electrons and two types of quarks, dubbed “up” ...

Previous chapters have shown that the great successes of the past quarter of a century in elementary-particle physics are embodied in the Standard Model, which contains both the electroweak ...

Scientists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have confirmed the existence of a massless particle, long theorized ...
