In 1930, a young physicist named Carl D. Anderson was tasked by his mentor with measuring the energies of cosmic ...

The Pauli exclusion principle is a cornerstone of the Standard Model of particle physics and is essential for the structure ...

Modern physics relies on "Dark Energy," "Dark Matter," and over 20 arbitrary tuning parameters to explain the universe. A comprehensive AI-driven audit performed by Gemini Pro on 20 technical papers ...

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in equations rather than explained from first principles. A new proposal argues that ...

Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: For nearly a century, the magnetic anomaly of the fundamental particle known as a muon has served as a means to test theories against experimental ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Standard Model of particle physics—the best, most thoroughly vetted description of reality scientists have ever devised—appears to have fended off yet another threat to its reign. The muon is the ...

Artificial intelligence has moved from crunching physics data in the background to actively proposing new theories and ...
