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

Professor of Theoretical Physics Risto Paatelainen from the University of Turku in Finland has spent nearly ten years working ...

Two recent studies by Professor Stefano Profumo at the University of California, Santa Cruz, propose theories that attempt to answer one of the most fundamental open questions in modern physics: What ...

The Standard Model of particles and interactions is remarkably successful for a theory everyone knows is missing big pieces. It accounts for the everyday stuff we know like protons, neutrons, ...

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

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

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 ...

Our best model of particle physics explains only about 5 percent of the universe. The Standard Model is a thing of beauty. It is the most rigorous theory of particle physics, incredibly precise and ...

A new type of particle has been discovered by scientists at CERN using data from last year's run of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The particle opens the door to a "new frontier" of physics, ...

UC Santa Cruz physicist Stefano Profumo has put forward two imaginative but scientifically grounded theories that may help solve one of the biggest mysteries in physics: the origin of dark matter. In ...
