A unified theory – that explains the interactions in the standard model of particle physics from one common origin – has been ...

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 ...

An analysis of several experiments aimed at detecting the mysterious neutrino has identified a hint of a crack in the ...

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 ...

Red lines show the disintegration of a B-sub-s into two muons in the CMS camera at the Large Hadron Collider. Yello, green and blue are used to denote particles other than muons. Purdue University ...

Physicists have taken one small-but-consequential step toward measuring the mass of an elusive "ghost particle" called a neutrino — an achievement that could poke a significant hole in the Standard ...

On Monday, the Society of Physics Students, or SPS, welcomed Helen Quinn — a renowned particle physicist — to deliver the Howard L. Schultz Sr. Price Lecture. During the talk, Quinn spoke on her ...

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 particle in question, known as a sterile neutrino, was supposed to only interact with gravity and have zero interactions ...
