A new LHCb analysis confirms a previously observed tension with the Standard Model, but more data and improved theoretical ...

Understanding the universe's building blocks, the Standard Model categorizes particles and explains forces, yet leaves questions about gravity and dark matter.

Dark matter remains one of the biggest mysteries in fundamental physics. Many theoretical proposals (axions, WIMPs) and 40 ...

Superheavy charged gravitinos may be the long-sought answer to dark matter. Dark Matter remains one of the biggest mysteries ...

The standard model of particle physics is often illustrated as a simple grid showing the 17 basic particles (shown above). But an alternative way of visualising it reveals the complex rules that ...

Wondering whether whether Dark Matter particles actually are produced inside a jet of standard model particles, led researchers to explore a new detector signature known as semi-visible jets, which ...

In the late 1960s and 1970s, researchers unified these discoveries into a single theoretical framework now known as the Standard Model of particle physics. This theory classifies all known elementary ...

Dark matter has bewildered scientists for centuries. It makes up most of the universe’s matter, but it can’t be seen directly ...

Katy has a BA in Humanities and Philosophy, with over 20 years of experience in online and print publishing. She was named the Association of British Science Writers' Editor of the Year in 2023. The ...

Dark Matter remains one of the biggest mysteries in fundamental physics. Many theoretical proposals (axions, WIMPs) and 40 years of extensive experimental search failed to provide any explanation of ...
