Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

Roger Jones receives funding from STFC. I am a member of the ATLAS Collaboration As a physicist working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern, one of the most frequent questions I am asked is ...

Modern physics relies on "Dark Energy," "Dark Matter," and over 20 arbitrary tuning parameters to explain the universe. A comprehensive AI-driven audit performed by Gemini Pro on 20 technical papers ...

After a decade-long analysis, a collaboration of physicists has made the most precise measurement of the mass of a key particle – and it may unravel physics as we know it. The new measurement differs ...

CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is designed to probe the fringes of known physics, and now the facility has found particles not behaving as predicted. While it’s still early days, the discovery ...

From the outside, the high-speed collisions of atomic nuclei inside particle accelerators like CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) may seem like they have very little in common with more mundane ...

Dominika Vasilkova receives funding from the Leverhulme Trust. Ce Zhang receives funding from the Leverhulme Trust. Elia Bottalico receives funding from the Leverhulme Trust. Saskia Charity receives ...

Particle physics seeks to understand the fundamental constituents of matter and the forces that govern their interactions. The field has evolved from early studies of protons, neutrons and electrons ...
