The complete Standard Model took a long time to build. Physicist J.J. Thomson discovered the electron in 1897, and scientists at the Large Hadron Collider found the final piece of the puzzle, the ...

However, it does not account for the other three fundamental forces. The Standard Model of particle physics explains the ...

IFLScience traveled to CERN to get an exclusive insight into the crucial theory of particle physics, its limitations, and ...

Each of particles in the standard model has an associated antiparticle. When a particle and antiparticle combine to ‘annihilate’ each other the only result is energy. In hospitals, radioactive ...

We think of matter as being made up from three main particles – protons, neutrons and electrons. However the full set of matter particles is the fermions. This has a much greater variety of sub ...

But the biggest story by far is the second release of data from the DESI survey of the universe, which could upend the standard model: An emerging generation of cosmological surveys launched this ...
