Yesterday, we presented a comprehensive guide to the world of subatomic particles, exploring all the known elementary and composite particles. But now it’s time to put certainty to one side and ...

Modern physics can predict the behavior of particles with stunning accuracy, yet some of its biggest calculations fail on an ...

The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than others. Reading time 5 minutes For all practical purposes, the Standard ...

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 ...

In Roman mythology, Janus was the god of change and transition, often portrayed with two faces gazing in opposite directions. At the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Janus particles are ...

Dangling from a balloon high above Antarctica, a particle detector has spotted something that standard physics is at a loss to explain. Two unusual signals seen by the detector, known as the Antarctic ...
