The 2026 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics recognizes members of the Muon g-2 Collaboration, a team of more than 200 ...

Muons are a key subatomic particle in the discovery of new physics, but after particle collision, they’re difficult to track.

Extremely massive fundamental particles could exist, but they would seriously mess with our understanding of quantum mechanics. Fundamental particles are objects that are so small, they have no deeper ...

Recent findings from research we have been carrying out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern in Geneva suggest that we might be closing in on signs of undiscovered physics. If confirmed, these ...

In this video, we explore the Standard Model of particle physics, detailing the quantum field theories that describe ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when reading this story: When you drill down into the very fabric of reality—where elementary particles make up the matter that is you and me and everything around us in three ...

The big idea of atomic theory is that, at some smallest, fundamental level, the matter that makes up everything can be divided no further. Those ultimate building blocks would be literally ἄ-τομος, or ...

Scientists have succeeded in creating an experimental model of an elusive kind of fundamental particle called a skyrmion in a beam of light. Scientists at the University of Birmingham have succeeded ...

Particle accelerators such as those at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva are typically highly ...
