A tense particle-physics showdown will reach new heights in 2025. Over the past 25 years researchers have seen a persistent and growing discrepancy between the theoretical predictions and experimental ...

After a two-decade wait that included a long struggle for funding and a move halfway across a continent, a rebooted experiment on the muon — a particle similar to the electron but heavier and unstable ...

What’s inside an atom? It’s not a trivia question. Physicists in the early 20th century knew that atoms contained component parts — electrons and a nucleus with protons and neutrons within. But nobody ...

The most precise measurement yet of the electron’s shape casts doubt on ideas such as supersymmetry that predict a zoo of undetected particles in the universe Scientists are unanimous that their ...

In 2015, physics is standing on a bridge between the old world and the new. The good ol’ Standard Model, a set of equations that explains much, but lucky for us not *all*, of the physical workings of ...
