Physicists know that their elegant theoretical description of forces and particles – the Standard Model – must be incomplete, ...
It’s often said in science that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Recent measurements of the mass of the elementary particle known as the W boson provide a useful case study as to ...
Recent findings from research we have been carrying out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern in Geneva suggest that we might be closing in on signs of undiscovered physics.

The beginning of the universe: Cosmic inflation with standard particle physics repertoire
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 ...
For more than 50 years, the Standard Model of particle physics has formed the basis of our understanding of nature at the smallest scale. It describes the behavior of elementary particles under the ...
If photons possess more quantum states than expected, it would overhaul our understanding of all particle physics – and now physicists have identified a way to test this radical idea in an experiment.
