Explore the standard model of particle physics and its implications as discoveries challenge long-held theories. Fermilab’s Tevatron, the largest particle accelerator in the United States, was shut ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

String theory attempts to unify all forces and particles in the universe using vibrating strings. It aims to explain the Standard Model of particle physics, which is incomplete. String theory predicts ...

Deep underground in southern China, there is a 20,000-ton tank of liquid that can detect neutrinos. Named JUNO, the ...

Electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force that binds matter together, the weak force responsible for particle decay, and gravity. These are the four fundamental forces of our universe, but new ...

Sam Baron receives funding from the Australian Research Council. The Matter of Everything tells the history of physics through experiments. Any book about the history of science for a general audience ...

The scientists, from Spain and Germany, say the current standard model of physics cannot explain everything we see in the universe ...

Funding is provided via the China Scholarship Council and Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) Available to Chinese (CSC) and Home Students (STFC). Outstanding overseas applicants will be ...
