Physicists know that their elegant theoretical description of forces and particles – the Standard Model – must be incomplete, ...

Physicists have taken a major step toward using AI not just to analyze data, but to uncover entirely new laws of nature. By ...

A neglected force produced by neutrinos and other particles helps atomic physics measurements align with predictions of the standard model.

Amid the many mysteries of quantum physics, subatomic particles don't always follow the rules of the physical world. They can exist in two places at once, pass through solid barriers and even ...

For years, scientists have searched for the sources of the most energetic particles in ...

Tiny grains of dust floating inside a glowing plasma should, according to decades of theory, push and pull on each other in ...

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A powerful new particle accelerator that could be set up at Fermilab, a telescope to observe the oldest light in the universe, and research to learn more about mysteries such as dark ...

The Large Hadron Collider hasn’t seen any new particles since the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012. Here’s what researchers are trying to do about it. In 1977, Ray and Charles Eames released a ...

The CMS collaboration have used advanced machine learning techniques to search for new particles in jets produced by proton-proton collisions at the LHC A proton-proton collision producing multiple ...
