Particle physicists say they are testing a new theoretical model that proposes that the Higgs boson, the so-called "God particle" underlying the Standard Model of physics, might disintegrate into ...
The Standard Model of particles and interactions is remarkably successful for a theory everyone knows is missing big pieces. It accounts for the everyday stuff we know like protons, neutrons, ...
The search for quantum gravity is the next big step in physics, as researchers seek to unify the physics of the very small ...

Quantum ‘Knots’ Theory Could Explain Why Matter Exists
In A Nutshell When two different types of cosmic strings become linked in the early universe, they form stable knots that ...
Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that has long posed a problem: According to physicists’ best current ...
Magnets of the Tevatron Collider at Fermilab, Illinois. A newly published analysis of data from the Tevatron, which shut down in 2011, shows an unexpectedly high mass for a particle called the W-boson ...
Dark matter could be made of particles that each weigh almost as much as a human cell and are nearly dense enough to become miniature black holes, new research suggests. While dark matter is thought ...
The universe abounds with dark matter. Nobody knows what it consists of. Physicists in Norway have now come up with a mathematical explanation that could solve the mystery once and for all. The ...
The Lightness of Being: Mass, Ether, and the Unification of Forces by Frank Wilczek. Published by Basic Books in the USA, 2008 and by Allen Lane, Penguin in the UK, 2009. Frank Wilczek’s book can be ...
The Standard Model of particle physics does a decent enough job of explaining the universe, but it still has some holes in it. Now, a new study outlines how one hypothetical particle, the axion, may ...
