Muons are a key subatomic particle in the discovery of new physics, but after particle collision, they’re difficult to track.

Recent findings from research we have been carrying out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern in Geneva suggest that we might be closing in on signs of undiscovered physics. If confirmed, these ...

Estimating things that exist is generally easy, but when it comes to estimating things that do not exist, it's more difficult. This is something physicists from Poland and the UK are well aware of. To ...

Physicists know that their elegant theoretical description of forces and particles – the Standard Model – must be incomplete, ...

In November, Quanta magazine published a feature on the detection of “magic” top quarks at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This magic, they explained, is part of an interesting shift happening at ...

Over the past century, we have peeled back the layers and uncovered more about the make-up of subatomic particles than ever ...
