For a few years, one of particle physics’ most unsettling numbers seemed to be pointing somewhere strange. The trouble ...

A neglected force produced by neutrinos and other particles helps atomic physics measurements align with predictions of the ...

In 1930, a young physicist named Carl D. Anderson was tasked by his mentor with measuring the energies of cosmic rays—particles arriving at high speed from outer space. Anderson built an improved ...

The Standard Model of Cosmology is wrong, which has created a crisis in Physics and Cosmology and necessitates a scientific revolution. This is not a claim made by this article, but is the emerging ...

Two independent lines of evidence from the world’s most powerful particle experiments are converging on the same uncomfortable conclusion: something is producing signals that the Standard Model of ...

It’s often said in science that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Recent measurements of the mass of the elementary particle known as the W boson provide a useful case study as to ...

Measurement of W boson particle mass confirms Standard Model of physics and reignites the search for other particles.

A new calculation helps narrow down the mass of the W boson, one of the heaviest fundamental particles in the universe ...

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 ...
