Matter-antimatter asymmetry puzzles physicists. Learn how the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) may find answers.

With the help of computer simulations, particle physics researchers may be able to explain why there is more matter than antimatter in the Universe. The simulations offer a new way of examining ...

Physicists were left with more questions than answers this week after returning empty-handed following a painstaking search for an elusive theoretical particle called a sterile neutrino. The ...

Science The Surprisingly Bulky Particle That Might … Break Physics? What is the W boson, why is it such a big deal, and what happens next?

How can the tiniest particles and the vast structure of the universe be explained using the same kind of mathematics? This puzzle is the focus of recent research by mathematicians Claudia Fevola ...

Here we look at what leptons are, how they fit in the Standard Model of particle physics, and their importance in atoms and particle decay.

Discover the fascinating world of particle physics — the most fundamental building blocks of the universe and the forces that connect them.

Is the standard model of particle physics complete? It all depends on what you mean by the Standard Model and by “complete." I would say "no" but I’ll explain why many people used to say ...

Physicists explain puzzling particle collisions Date: December 10, 2014 Source: University of California - San Diego Summary: An anomaly spotted at the Large Hadron Collider has prompted ...

The W boson, a fundamental particle, weighs in heavier than expected, suggesting the Standard Model is wrong. Not so fast, say some physicists ...

Baryons, composite particles made up of three quarks bound together via the so-called strong force, make up the most visible ...

How a mysterious particle could explain the Universe’s missing antimatter New experiments focused on understanding the enigmatic neutrino may offer insights.
