Neutrinos are elementary particles that behave in ways that the standard theories of physics cannot properly explain. Anca Tureanu, the new professor of theoretical particle physics at the University ...

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 ...

A “muon shot” aims to study the basic forces of the cosmos. But meager federal budgets could limit its ambitions. By Dennis Overbye and Katrina Miller Friday, Dec. 8: This story was updated to include ...

The discovery of the Higgs boson hasn’t led to an explosion of new physics as many predicted. Now, some scientists think that hidden physics may be hiding beyond LHC’s view.

Particle and high energy physics seeks to understand the fundamental constituents of matter and the interactions that govern them across the smallest distance scales and highest energies. The Standard ...

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 ...

Machine learning, a form of artificial intelligence, vastly speeds up computational tasks and enables new technology in areas as broad as speech and image recognition, self-driving cars, stock market ...

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 ...

Centaurus High School students proposed starting a physics club in 2018 to work on developing a project for an international particle physics competition organized by CERN, the European Laboratory for ...
