After years of confusion, a new study confirms the proton is tinier than once thought. That enables a test of the standard model of particle physics.

Keeping high-power particle accelerators at peak performance requires advanced and precise control systems. For example, the primary research machine at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas ...

A supercharged neutrino that smashed into our planet in 2023 may have been spit out by an exploding primordial black hole ...

The Standard Model of Particle Physics is the best theory scientists have to explain how the universe works on subatomic ...

It was a bold thought experiment: that only one electron makes up the entire universe. The most famous conversation about it took place between Richard Feynman, PhD, and John Wheeler, PhD, both ...

A team of physicists used ChatGPT to help crack a long-standing problem in quantum field theory, producing a new closed-form ...

Key TakeawaysDigital twins are ultra-accurate computer-based simulations of complex physical systems used for exploring "what ...

Another theory held that the forces between two particles falls off exponentially in direct relationship to the distance between two particles and that the factor by which it drops is not dependent on ...

It feels so obvious that time moves forward that questioning it can seem almost pointless.

The field of particle physics is approaching a critical horizon defined by challenges including unprecedented data volumes and detector complexity. Upcoming ...

Immediately after the Big Bang boomed, the Universe was a trillion-degree ' soup ' of unimaginably dense plasma. In a ...
