Two independent lines of evidence from the world’s most powerful particle experiments are converging on the same ...

After years of confusion, a new study confirms the proton is tinier than once thought. That enables a test of the standard model of particle physics.

What is meant, when an experiment anticipates less than a quarter of an event, and four are registered by the detector? That ...

If photons possess more quantum states than expected, it would overhaul our understanding of all particle physics – and now physicists have identified a way to test this radical idea in an experiment.

Data galore: a simulation of the particle tracks produced when a Higgs boson is created in proton–proton collisions at the LHC. (Courtesy: CERN) An international collaboration is exploring how quantum ...
