The discovery of ‘weak neutral currents’ at Europe’s particle-physics research centre CERN 50 years ago was a decisive step towards establishing the standard model of particle physics — a ...

These particle tracks from the CMS experiment at the LHC show two photons arising from a roughly 750-GeV particle created in a proton-proton collision. The event may represent a new particle ...

The existence of the Higgs boson completes the standard model of particle physics.

The Standard Model is our best theory for how the universe operates, but there are some missing pieces that physicists are struggling to find.

New experiments that rely on very large machines have begun to probe the weak points of particle physics.

When mathematicians revived ignored mathematical structures, they found that overlooked particles, called "neglectons," could ...
