Understanding the universe's building blocks, the Standard Model categorizes particles and explains forces, yet leaves ...

Neutrinos are one of the most enigmatic particles in the standard model. The main reason is that they're so hard to detect.

In a recent experiment, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN produced particles believed to have only existed in the ...

Wondering whether whether Dark Matter particles actually are produced inside a jet of standard model particles, led researchers to explore a new detector signature known as semi-visible jets, which ...

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 ...

What do quarks, electrons, and photons have in common? They’re all part of the Standard Model - the theory that helped ...

Katy has a BA in Humanities and Philosophy, with over 20 years of experience in online and print publishing. She was named the Association of British Science Writers' Editor of the Year in 2023. The ...

New research suggests that there is a 90% chance that within the next decade, humanity could use a space or Earth-based ...

Researchers have proposed a whole new way to search for dark matter. A team wants to use CERN’s Large Hadron Collider to look for what are called semi-visible jets”—columns of decaying particles that ...

Indirectly testing this theory, motivated by the mysterious mass of the Higgs boson, could be within reach for experiments at the Large Hadron Collider. The Higgs field is famous for its role ...
