Here’s what you’ll learn when reading this story: When you drill down into the very fabric of reality—where elementary particles make up the matter that is you and me and everything around us in three ...

When fundamental particles are heavier or lighter than expected, physicists' understanding of the universe can tip into the unknown. A particle that is just beyond its predicted mass can unravel ...

In this video, we explore the Standard Model of particle physics, detailing the quantum field theories that describe fundamental particles and forces in the universe. Topics covered include: - ...

The ancient Greeks speculated that it might be air, fire or water. A century ago, physicists felt sure it was the atom. Today, we believe that the deepest layer of reality is populated by a diverse ...

Recent findings from research we have been carrying out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern in Geneva suggest that we ...

Fundamental particles called quarks can be created in quantum-correlated pairs. These correlations can be passed on to larger particles that form from the quarks. The strong force differs from others ...

When you drill down into the very fabric of reality—where elementary particles make up the matter that is you and me and everything around us in three-dimensional space—things get divided nicely into ...
