Over time, particle physics and astrophysics and computing have built upon one another’s successes. That coevolution continues today. In the mid-twentieth century, particle physicists were peering ...
The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...
In July 2012, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Europe triumphantly announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, the long-sought linchpin of the subatomic world. Interacting with Higgs ...
The Committee on Elementary-Particle Physics was convened by the National Research Council's Board on Physics and Astronomy to assess the field of elementary-particle physics as part of the survey ...
Workshops around the world train science teachers to incorporate particle physics into their classrooms. Picture this: A stationary object such as a vase suddenly explodes, sending fragments flying.
A “muon shot” aims to study the basic forces of the cosmos. But meager federal budgets could limit its ambitions. By Dennis Overbye and Katrina Miller Friday, Dec. 8: This story was updated to include ...
The muon collider was once dismissed as impossible, but is now gaining steam as the successor to the Large Hadron Collider.
A hidden link has been found between two seemingly unrelated particle collision outcomes. It’s the latest example of a mysterious web of mathematical connections between disparate theories of physics.
