Scientists are using “trapped ions” in highly precise experiments to search for a new, fifth force of nature that could help ...

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

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 ...

The basic idea of 3D time isn't new. But University of Alaska geophysicist Gunther Kletetschka says his mathematical ...

They are the carriers of the strong force, one of the four fundamental forces.Force-carrying particles such as the gluon, as well as the photon for the electromagnetic force, and the W and Z ...

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 ...

When physicists observe the behavior of electromagnetic and weak force particles in our universe, it seems clear that they are expressions of two separate and distinct fundamental forces. When they ...

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).
