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

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

Noncommutative geometry offers a radical reformulation of traditional geometrical concepts by replacing the classical notion of a manifold with a noncommutative algebra of coordinates. This approach ...

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

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 ...

Red lines show the disintegration of a B-sub-s into two muons in the CMS camera at the Large Hadron Collider. Yello, green and blue are used to denote particles other than muons. Purdue University ...

On Monday, the Society of Physics Students, or SPS, welcomed Helen Quinn — a renowned particle physicist — to deliver the Howard L. Schultz Sr. Price Lecture. During the talk, Quinn spoke on her ...

Maddy has a degree in biochemistry from the University of York and specializes in reporting on health, medicine, and genetics. The most exciting possible avenue for physics beyond the standard model ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: For nearly a century, the magnetic anomaly of the fundamental particle known as a muon has served as a means to test theories against experimental ...
