Physicists from the University of Pennsylvania, working with colleagues at Arizona State University, are examining the limitations of a framework that aims to unify the laws of physics throughout the ...

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

Using ripples in space-time predicted by Einstein, a team of researchers has detected a cosmic merger of unprecedented proportions.

Well, it's July 12, which means (a) the Steam Summer Sale is over and (b) it's really hot outside in the northeastern U.S.

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

Particles orbiting a black hole could collide at colossal energies, generating collision products that may offer valuable ...

At Fermilab, US physicists are refining their measurements of this subatomic particle—which has major implications for the Standard Model.

The Large Hadron Collider is one of the biggest experiments in history, but it’s also one of the hardest to interpret. Unlike seeing an image of a star in a telescope, saying anything at all about the ...

Theory slayer: Peter Woit says that the Large Hadron Collider has blown “huge holes” in dubious high-energy theories. (Courtesy: Hertzog, Samuel Joseph/CERN) “Talk to particle physicists in private, ...

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.
