Theoretical particle physics is the development of models for describing fundamental particles and their interactions. This includes testing and refining the prevailing theory: the standard model.

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in equations rather than explained from first principles. A new proposal argues that ...

Experimental particle physics is the practical investigation of the fundamental components of matter and radiation. A crucial tool in the arsenal of the experimental particle physicist is the particle ...

Current theories suggest that W and Z bosons acquire mass from interactions with the Higgs scalar field, but a new study suggests that the higher dimensional structure of spacetime could be the actual ...

CERN, a center for physics research outside Geneva, Switzerland, is best known for discovering some of the building blocks of our universe. But scientists there are also studying new ways to treat ...

The hydrogen molecule H 2 is the simplest stable molecule, with two protons and two electrons bound together. Scientists have studied it for more than a century because it’s small enough that theory ...

Particle and nuclear physics evokes evokes images of huge accelerators probing the extremes of matter. But in this round-up of my favourite research of 2025 I have chosen five stories in which ...

On a December day, Richard Feynman gave a fun little lecture at Caltech — and dreamed up an entirely new field of physics. During the talk, entitled "Plenty of room at the bottom," he described the ...

If your New Year’s resolution is to understand quantum computing this year, take a cue from a 9-year-old podcaster talking to ...
