Sabine Hossenfileder’s book is an incisive, deep, and thought-provoking analysis The 20th century was dominated by some astonishing and groundbreaking work in the field of physics. This groundbreaking work radically changed our perception of reality both at the microscopic and macroscopic levels. The Standard Model, a culmination of decades of hard work by pioneering theoretical and experimental physicists, remains our present

When streams of ultra-fast protons collide, a Higgs boson might pop into existence for the briefest instant before decaying into lighter particles.

MADISON - Students at Drew University spent this past semester doing things normal college kids do: reading the great novels, discussing political discourse, and hanging out with friends.

A massive hum of energy pervades the universe. Is it supermassive black holes or something weirder?

Awarded for outstanding contributions to the field of theoretical elementary particle physics with a visiting professorship in Vienna

A major report plotting the future of U.S. particle physics calls for cuts to the beleaguered DUNE project, advocates a “muon shot” for a next-generation collider and recommends a new survey of the universe’s oldest observable light

Popular Science named Ronald Garcia Ruiz, an MIT Laboratory for Nuclear Science researcher and assistant professor of physics as one of 2023's "Brilliant 10," recognizing his contributions to experimental physics.

There are many open questions about the Standard Model of particle physics (SM), which is currently the best description we have of the world of particle physics. Experimental and theoretical physicists vie with other in a healthy competition to scrutinise the SM and identify parts of it that require further explanation, beyond the model’s well-known shortcomings, such as neutrino masses. Experiments carried out at the LHC and other facilities at CERN can detect specific signatures where data ...

This guest post was written by Brookhaven Lab physicist Kostas Nikolopoulos. Today's public seminar at CERN, where the ATLAS and CMS collaborations presented the preliminary results of their searches for the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson with the full dataset collected during 2011, is a landmark for high-energy physics!

A “muon shot” aims to study the basic forces of the cosmos. But meager federal budgets could limit its ambitions.
