The Standard Model is a kind of periodic table of the elements for particle physics. But instead of listing the chemical elements, it lists the fundamental particles that make up the atoms that make ...

The Standard Model of particle physics explains the electromagnetic, nuclear strong, and nuclear weak forces. It describes the forces and behavior of the Universe’s fundamental particles ...

Alex Keshavarzi digs into the showdown between two competing Standard Model predictions of the muon, which may reveal undiscovered particles hiding in the vacuum ...

The Standard Model of particle physics is the theory describing three of the four known fundamental forces (the electromagnetic, weak, and strong interactions, while omitting gravity) in the universe, ...

Neutrinos are very mysterious particles,” says Damien Dornic, one of the co-authors of a new paper published February 12 in ...

Each of particles in the standard model has an associated antiparticle. When a particle and antiparticle combine to ‘annihilate’ each other the only result is energy. In hospitals, radioactive ...

these elusive subatomic particles, barely interacting with matter, puzzled scientists. The fewer neutrinos detected from the sun than expected hinted at something beyond the standard model of ...

We think of matter as being made up from three main particles – protons, neutrons and electrons. However the full set of matter particles is the fermions. This has a much greater variety of sub ...
