In this video, we explore the Standard Model of particle physics, detailing the quantum field theories that describe ...

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

A major physics experiment has uncovered evidence for a strange new form of matter, where a fleeting particle gets trapped ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Scientists have discovered the cause of a persistent glitch that continues to disrupt superconducting quantum computers, even ...

A complete survey of all the particle and antiparticle activity that goes on during the Sun’s 11-year cycle has found previously unknown ways these particles behave. Cosmic rays coming from outside ...

Physicists are eyeing charged gravitinos—ultra-heavy, stable particles from supergravity theory—as possible Dark Matter candidates. Unlike axions or WIMPs, these particles carry electric charge but ...

A green spectacle. With protective eyewear, ISTA PHD student Andrea Stöllner takes a glimpse into the experimental chamber (in the foreground) where two laser beams trap a single particle. One ...

Notoriously ghostly particles called neutrinos may have revealed a crack in our understanding of all the particles and forces in the universe. The standard model of particle physics, which catalogues ...
