A philosopher has put forward an argument for rethinking how particles are defined within the standard model of particle physics ...

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 ...

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.

Physicists at the University of California, Irvine, have developed an artificial intelligence system that can autonomously ...

No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...

Javier Duarte kicked off his scientific career by witnessing the biggest particle physics event in decades. On July 4, 2012, scientists at the laboratory CERN near Geneva announced the discovery of ...

Despite its tremendous success in predicting the existence of new particles and forces, the standard model of particle physics, designed over 50 years ago to explain the smallest building blocks of ...

When I arrived at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in the prairie suburbs west of Chicago to begin my ...

After years of smashing proton particles together at nearly the speed of light, Cern’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has ...

Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at that. Earlier, he'd been a scientist, but he realized he wasn't very happy sitting at a lab bench all day. Science writing, ...
