Scientists have taken a major step toward solving a long-standing mystery in particle physics, by finding no sign of the ...

New results from the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab found no evidence of a hypothetical fourth flavor of neutrino ...

"Precision in these measurements is critical, as even subtle discrepancies could signal deviations from the model — ...

Star clusters are of great importance in any galaxy: they are the birthplace of new stars, often containing massive stars of ...

Particle physics is the study of the elementary building blocks of matter and radiation and their interaction. The fundamental particles are summarised by the standard model. This includes leptons ...

Using cutting-edge algorithms and exascale supercomputers, researchers have created the most realistic simulations yet of matter flowing into black holes. Building on decades of research, a group of c ...

Theoretical particle physics is the development of models for describing fundamental particles and their interactions. This includes testing and refining the prevailing theory: the standard model.

Scientists hunted dark matter and solar neutrinos with one of the largest experiments yet. While the neutrinos likely ...

But physicists are eager to know more about neutrinos because they may be able to break the Standard Model of particle physics, which is our best explanation of the subatomic world. While it is an ...
