This is what the creation of a Higgs Boson looks like to the Large Hadron Collider. (Credit: CERN) The Higgs boson is, if nothing else, the most expensive particle of all time. It's a bit of an unfair ...

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 ...

How did the universe come into being? There are a multitude of theories on this subject. In a Physical Review Letters paper, three scientists formulate a new model: according to this, inflation, the ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

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 ...

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in equations rather than explained from first principles. A new proposal argues that ...

In the world of particle physics, where scientists unravel the mysteries of the universe, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are making waves with how they're increasing ...

String theory attempts to unify all forces and particles in the universe using vibrating strings. It aims to explain the Standard Model of particle physics, which is incomplete. String theory predicts ...

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 ...
