It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is ...

"Precision in these measurements is critical, as even subtle discrepancies could signal deviations from the model — ...

The ABCs of Particle Physics is available online and at public libraries and stores near Fermilab and SLAC. For lovers of rhymes and anthropomorphic Higgs bosons, Symmetry presents its first published ...

A is of Accelerator, B is for Black hole, C is for Cryostat! Those are just a few of the particle physics lessons your kids will get from Symmetry Magazine’s new lovely, animated alphabet book that ...

Exploring the fundamental laws of physics has often required huge accelerators and particles colliding at high energies. But table-top experiments, usually employing exquisitely tuned lasers and ...

QUARKS These particles make up protons, neutrons and a veritable zoo of lesser-known particles. They have never been observed in isolation. Electric charge: +2/3 Mass: 2 MeV Constituent of ordinary ...

Most scientific advancements manifest in incremental improvements to existing knowledge. Yet occasionally, revolutionary insights have the power to challenge long-held assumptions and reshape entire ...

Charge Pomeranchuk orders, skyrmion lattices and magnetic monopoles in spin ice materials may sound like a sci-fi shopping list, but according to Malte Grosche, head of the Quantum Matter Group at the ...

The standard model of particle physics is often illustrated as a simple grid showing the 17 basic particles (shown above). But an alternative way of visualising it reveals the complex rules that ...

The University of Chicago announced today that it has received a $5 million gift to be directed toward the development of future programs in particle physics. "This is a marvelous gift," said Robert ...

Physicists have chased a unified description of nature for more than a century, yet quantum theory and gravity have ...
