Jeff Wiener manages a program that annually brings 1,000 teachers to CERN, the European laboratory for particle physics, training them to teach particle physics in their classrooms back home. Julia ...

Particle physics describes the universe at the smallest scale. This includes subatomic particles, like protons and neutrons, as well as elementary particles, like quarks and electrons, which make ...

The tried and tested basic law of modern particle physics—what scientists call the Standard Model—enshrines the muon as one of our universe’s fundamental building blocks.

"Remarkable" new model of quantum double-exchange ferromagnets could produce fresh insights into these ...
