No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...

A unified theory – that explains the interactions in the standard model of particle physics from one common origin – has been ...

An analysis of several experiments aimed at detecting the mysterious neutrino has identified a hint of a crack in the ...

The theorized unseen structure of spacetime could also explain of the outstanding questions about the accelerating expansion ...

Noncommutative geometry offers a radical reformulation of traditional geometrical concepts by replacing the classical notion of a manifold with a noncommutative algebra of coordinates. This approach ...

It’s often said in science that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Recent measurements of the mass of the elementary particle known as the W boson provide a useful case study as to ...

In nuclear beta decay an up quark ‘u’ in a proton converts into an up down quark ‘d,’ turning the proton into a neutron and emitting a positron and a neutrino. This work affects interpretation of beta ...

The standard model of particle physics is often illustrated as a simple grid showing the 17 basic particles (shown above). But an alternative way of visualising it reveals the complex rules that ...

Neutrinos remain among the most intriguing particles in nature due to their elusive mass, weak interactions and pervasive presence in the cosmos. Recent experimental breakthroughs have enabled the ...
