Scientists are using trapped ions in experiments to search for signs of a new particle that could help explain the mysterious ...

Clocks might be far more fundamental to physics than we ever realized. A new theory suggests what we see around us – from the ...

Electrons are probably the most familiar elementary particles, but the Standard Model of physics, which describes the interactions of particles and almost all forces, recognizes 10 total ...

Computer simulations of high-energy particles are pushing the boundaries of what we can learn about the interactions that happen inside particle colliders ...

Leptons are elementary particles, ... The four fundamental forces of nature are illustrated here from top-left clockwise, gravity, electromagnetic, strong and weak.

The Standard Model explains these fundamental particles and three of the four forces. If they manage to prove the existence of this force, it would be entirely new physics outside the Standard Model.

On June 11, the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine announced the result of a three-year study to set a ...

It’s a fundamental principle of physics that particles with opposite charges attract each other, while those with the same charge repel. Scientists have now discovered that under certain ...

While the Standard Model (SM) describes all known fundamental particles and many of the interactions between them, it fails ...

Scientists think the force could be carried by hypothetical ultralight particles, a proposed type of dark matter (which itself has yet to be directly detected).
