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 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 nuclei of atoms collide to power the stars and create heavy elements, and ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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

Students will be able to develop and explain a particle-level model to describe evaporation and condensation in the context of the water cycle. The water cycle depends on the processes of evaporation ...

This is one of the rarest interactions in particle physics ever observed: according to the scientists, fewer than one in ten ...
