The theorized unseen structure of spacetime could also explain of the outstanding questions about the accelerating expansion ...

The masses of fundamental particles such as the Z and W bosons could have arisen from the twisted geometry of hidden ...

Physicists are exploring whether hidden dimensions and the shape of space could help explain why fundamental particles have ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

Recently analyzed data from BaBar, a high-energy physics experiment in the U.S., may suggest possible flaws in the standard model of particle physics — the reigning description of how the universe ...

Red lines show the disintegration of a B-sub-s into two muons in the CMS camera at the Large Hadron Collider. Yello, green and blue are used to denote particles other than muons. Purdue University ...

Noncommutative geometry offers a radical reformulation of traditional geometrical concepts by replacing the classical notion of a manifold with a noncommutative algebra of coordinates. This approach ...

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 ...

Searches for dark matter particles have come up empty so far, driving theorists to get more creative with their ideas.

On Monday, the Society of Physics Students, or SPS, welcomed Helen Quinn — a renowned particle physicist — to deliver the Howard L. Schultz Sr. Price Lecture. During the talk, Quinn spoke on her ...

Physicists at the world's largest particle accelerator have made a first-of-its-kind discovery about antimatter that could help solve one of the universe's biggest mysteries. The discovery — made at ...
