The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than ...

Several massive multimillion dollar experiments should soon reveal more about the nature of these ghostly particles ...

Restricting a strange class of particles known as anyons to one dimension could force them into adopting one of two new forms, models suggest, hinting at new fundamental interactions in particle ...

Dr. Randolf Pohl from the Institute for Physics at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU), have successfully conducted experiments on hydrogen atoms which allow testing of the Standard Model of ...

Scientists found Pine’s Demon, a massless, neutral plasmon, in strontium ruthenate, offering insights into high-temperature ...

Physicists love the Higgs boson, but they hate the God particle. The elusive Higgs particle, which scientists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) particle accelerator announced Tuesday (Dec. 13) that ...

Particle physics is using ever more interdisciplinary means to seek ever more exotic phenomena, Robert P Crease finds, but these ambitions might be threatened by the increasing isolation in today’s ...

Recently, I watched a fellow particle physicist talk about a calculation he had pushed to a new height of precision. His tool? A 1980s-era computer program called FORM. Particle physicists use some of ...

At the heart of CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), an experiment has taken place that is as close to modern-day alchemy as science has ever come. Scientists have managed to turn lead into gold, but ...

Particle therapy experts gathered in London to discuss the transformative potential of laser-driven proton and ion beams ...

From the early scattering experiments of Rutherford to the colliding beam experiments that produced the top quark with a mass almost as large as Rutherford's gold nucleus, particle beams have been the ...
