For the past half century or so, a theory known by the understated name of the Standard Model has dominated the field of particle physics. This theory provides us with a detailed description of the 17 ...

The LHCb collaboration at CERN has confirmed the observation of an ultra-rare particle decay that has puzzled physicists for ...

Over a century ago, Ernest Rutherford discovered the proton by splitting the atom in a laboratory in Manchester. Today, researchers based in Manchester have discovered a new particle that Rutherford ...

Jason Bono was one of the researchers behind a major scientific moment — when tiny particles unexpectedly unraveled one of the most important and successful theories in physics. Bono, who earned his ...

No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...

Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger developed quantum theory’s wave equation, which describes quantum systems as waves that ...

Particle physics has always proceeded in two ways, of which new particles is one. The other is by making very precise measurements that test the predictions of theories and look for deviations from ...

After a decade-long analysis, a collaboration of physicists has made the most precise measurement of the mass of a key particle – and it may unravel physics as we know it. The new measurement differs ...

Scientists have made a particle physics discovery that they say could mean nothing less than the upheaval of our entire model of the building blocks of the universe—if their results can be ...

The hypothetical faster-than-light particle known as the tachyon may marry with the special theory of relativity, according to a team of physicists, making its existence more plausible. Tachyons are a ...

Roger Jones receives funding from STFC. I am a member of the ATLAS Collaboration As a physicist working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern, one of the most frequent questions I am asked is ...
