Physicists have taken a major step toward using AI not just to analyze data, but to uncover entirely new laws of nature. By ...

A tiny discrepancy in particle physics has loomed for decades as an exciting possible crack in one of science's most ...

For the past half century or so, a theory known by the understated name of the Standard Model has dominated the field of particle physics. This theory provides us with a detailed description of the 17 ...

From the outside, the high-speed collisions of atomic nuclei inside particle accelerators like CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) may seem like they have very little in common with more mundane ...

A neglected force produced by neutrinos and other particles helps atomic physics measurements align with predictions of the ...

Recent findings from research we have been carrying out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern in Geneva suggest that we ...

Collaboration that made precise measurement of the g-2 value honored with $3 million from the Breakthrough Prize in ...

As a physicist working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern, one of the most frequent questions I am asked is “When are you going to find something?”. Resisting the temptation to sarcastically ...

Matter is a lush tapestry, woven from a complex assortment of threads. Diverse subatomic particles weave together to fabricate the universe we inhabit. But a century ago, people believed that matter ...
