More than a decade after its groundbreaking discovery, the Higgs boson continues to captivate the scientific community. This elusive particle, famously nicknamed the “God particle,” plays ... Continue ...

For decades, the realm of particle physics has been governed by two major categories: fermions and bosons. Fermions, like quarks and leptons, make up matter, while ... Continue Reading → ...

Researchers hypothesize a fifth force of nature that could explain the intricate relationship between dark matter and dark ...

Researchers at the Large Hadron Collider tested whether top quarks, the most massive known elementary particles, comply with ...

Sheldon Glashow recalls the events surrounding a remarkable decade of model building and discovery between 1964 and 1974.

In the first study of its kind at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the CMS collaboration has tested whether top quarks adhere ...

In the first study of its kind at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the CMS collaboration has tested whether top quarks adhere to Einstein’s special theory of relativity. Along with quantum mechanics, ...

Rather than sticking together, as Democritus thought, quarks and leptons attract or repel one another thanks to other particles, collectively termed bosons, flying between them. “Matter,” Mr.

A common one is as fermions and bosons: fermions make up matter and ... Protons are quasiparticles, for example: each proton is made of three quarks and the gluons holding them together.

Scientists have peered inside protons and discovered that quarks and gluons, their fundamental building blocks, experience quantum entanglement. Entangled particles are connected to each other ...
