Spin states Physicists could soon be putting the Standard Model to the test by observing transitions in a one-positron ...

Elementary particle physics reflects the human quest to understand the basic building blocks of nature and the rules that govern the physical world. This quest has led not only to critical scientific ...

WASHINGTON — A new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine presents an ambitious and comprehensive long-term vision for the field of particle physics to further our ...

For decades, a puzzling discrepancy involving a tiny subatomic particle called the muon fueled speculation that physicists might be on the verge of discovering an entirely new force of nature. Now, an ...

Oxford physicists have recreated a bizarre quantum effect in which a particle responds to a magnetic field without ever traveling through it. Using a hybrid quantum computer, they demonstrated how ...

Science communicators had a field day with the 2012 Higgs discovery, as it offered a chance to energize the public about fundamental physics research. Figure 1. A representation of the standard model, ...

Collisions between particles at high energies can sometimes produce new particles and shed light on interactions between the ...

A quirky type of subatomic particle known as the charm meson has the seemingly magical ability to switch states between matter and antimatter (and back again), according to the team of over 1,000 ...

We may have finally spotted a dark matter particle – but figuring out exactly what kind of particle it was is a daunting task. Even as researchers race to confirm they really did detect an unknown ...

In July 2012, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Europe triumphantly announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, the long-sought linchpin of the subatomic world. Interacting with Higgs ...

More than 50 scientists from 20 countries and territories are in Quy Nhơn this week to share the latest findings in particle ...
