It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is ...

"Precision in these measurements is critical, as even subtle discrepancies could signal deviations from the model — ...

Particle accelerators are often framed as exotic machines built only to chase obscure particles, but they are really precision tools that use electric fields and magnets to steer tiny beams of matter ...

How the world of the smallest particles is structured, what is known about fundamental forces, and what particles have to do ...

QUARKS These particles make up protons, neutrons and a veritable zoo of lesser-known particles. They have never been observed in isolation. Electric charge: +2/3 Mass: 2 MeV Constituent of ordinary ...

Charge Pomeranchuk orders, skyrmion lattices and magnetic monopoles in spin ice materials may sound like a sci-fi shopping list, but according to Malte Grosche, head of the Quantum Matter Group at the ...

A doctoral student travels to Washington to explain the enigma of neutrinos, particles that are as strange as they are ...

The standard model of particle physics is often illustrated as a simple grid showing the 17 basic particles (shown above). But an alternative way of visualising it reveals the complex rules that ...

Most scientific advancements manifest in incremental improvements to existing knowledge. Yet occasionally, revolutionary insights have the power to challenge long-held assumptions and reshape entire ...

Physicists have chased a unified description of nature for more than a century, yet quantum theory and gravity have ...
