The ALICE collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva, Switzerland, recently made the first observation of an important aspect of particle physics called the “dead cone effect.” The ...

Physicists working on the LHCb experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have discovered a new subatomic particle called the ...

Scientists studying particle collisions at CERN have captured new evidence of how quarks move through the early universe’s primordial plasma.

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists at CERN’s LHCb experiment have discovered a new particle made of two charm quarks and one down quark.

Explore 25 science experiments that defied the laws of physics, revealing mind-bending phenomena that challenge intuition.

Physicists have found that an elementary particle called the W boson appears to be 0.1 percent too heavy—a tiny discrepancy that could foreshadow a huge shift in fundamental physics. The measurement, ...

The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than ...
