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 ...

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

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

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.

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

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

Still, the Standard Model is an incomplete theory. Another theory, called supersymmetry, suggests there is an undiscovered partner particle for each one in the Standard Model.

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

On December 6, 2016, a high-energy particle hurtled to Earth from outer space at close to the speed of light. It triggered the sensors of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, a massive telescope ...
