The largest-ever survey of physicists from around the world—released today—shows a distinct lack of consensus across many of ...

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 ...

Physicists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have uncovered new hints that certain particle decays may not behave as the ...

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 ...

The largest-ever survey of physicists from around the world - released today - shows a distinct lack of consensus across many ...

A link between particle physics and gravity equations, called the double copy, applies to Hawking radiation, creating a new ...

Survey shows division: The largest-ever poll of physicists found scant agreement on core theories, including the Standard Model of cosmology. Collider hints anomaly: Rare B meson decays at CERN's LHC ...

Learn about the Standard Model of particle physics and how physicists use it to predict the (subatomic) future. In ancient times, Greeks interested in forecasting the future would voyage on the ...

A longstanding goal in physics has been to link general relativity with quantum theory and so unify the forces of nature. Theories of quantum gravity, however, are plagued by the weak theoretical ...
