In a first-of-its-kind experiment conducted at the world's most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), scientists have attempted to discover if the universe's heaviest ...

The particle model of matter helps to explain properties and behaviour of materials by providing a model that enables us to visualise what is happening on a very small scale inside those materials. As ...

Students will be able to develop and explain a particle-level model to describe their observations of water dissolving salt, the water evaporating, and the salt crystals re-forming. Dissolving a solid ...

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 ...

Scattering takes place across the universe at large and miniscule scales. Billiard balls clank off each other in bars, the ...

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

Physicists measure the mass of subatomic particles in units called electron volts, or eV. According to theory, the W boson ...

It was too big of a discrepancy to be written off as a fluke. The findings raised the possibility of cracks in the Standard ...

SUNAYANA: And looking at what’s going on according to the particle model. And we’ll be looking at how adding or taking energy away from a substance can convert it from one physical state to ...
