Neutrinos are extremely lightweight and electrically neutral particles that rarely interact with ordinary matter. Due to ...

The Standard Model of particle physics, which describes the currently known elementary particles, has been in place since the 1970s. Nature can still surprise us, but it typically requires larger or ...

The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than ...

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 ...

Dr. Randolf Pohl from the Institute for Physics at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU), have successfully conducted experiments on hydrogen atoms which allow testing of the Standard Model of ...

The magnetic moment of the muon is an important precision parameter for putting the Standard Model of particle physics to the test. After years of work, the research group led by Professor Hartmut ...

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 ...

Neutrinos remain among the most intriguing particles in nature due to their elusive mass, weak interactions and pervasive presence in the cosmos. Recent experimental breakthroughs have enabled the ...

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 ...

Noncommutative geometry offers a radical reformulation of traditional geometrical concepts by replacing the classical notion of a manifold with a noncommutative algebra of coordinates. This approach ...
