Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in ...

The theorized unseen structure of spacetime could also explain of the outstanding questions about the accelerating expansion ...

The masses of fundamental particles such as the Z and W bosons could have arisen from the twisted geometry of hidden ...

Physicists are exploring whether hidden dimensions and the shape of space could help explain why fundamental particles have ...

Scientists at CERN, the home of the Large Hadron Collider, have just observed an astoundingly rare phenomenon at the subatomic level that could lead to a new understanding of the standard model of ...

A proposed funding program for small- and medium-scale projects reveals insights into the science, logistical challenges, and future of particle physics research. Particle physicists have a reputation ...

Noncommutative geometry offers a radical reformulation of traditional geometrical concepts by replacing the classical notion of a manifold with a noncommutative algebra of coordinates. This approach ...

The universe's matter-antimatter asymmetry, where matter significantly outweighs antimatter despite their theoretically equal creation at the Big Bang, remains a major unsolved problem in physics.

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

With big outstanding questions and little hints of new physics, physicists are now rethinking some of their most fundamental assumptions. For centuries, scientists thought the universe was filled with ...

Physicists at the world's largest particle accelerator have made a first-of-its-kind discovery about antimatter that could help solve one of the universe's biggest mysteries. The discovery — made at ...
