Javier Duarte kicked off his scientific career by witnessing the biggest particle physics event in decades. On July 4, 2012, scientists at the laboratory CERN near Geneva announced the discovery of ...

Tiny particles like ice crystals or ashes tend to oscillate as they settle in the atmosphere. By combining theory and experiments, scientists have constructed a model that can help refine predictions ...

When we take a look at some of the greatest unsolved problems in theoretical physics today, there's something many of them have in common. According to the known particles and interactions, there ...

At almost any particle physics conference, meeting, or lunch table, the phrase "physics beyond the Standard Model is heard over and over again. What s wrong with the Standard Model, anyway? Why are ...

What is our Universe made out of? At a fundamental level, to the best of our knowledge, the answer is simple: particles and fields. The type of matter that makes up humans, Earth, and all the stars, ...
