A philosopher has put forward an argument for rethinking how particles are defined within the standard model of particle ...

For several decades, the Standard Model of Elementary Particles (SM) (Fig. 1) has provided a broadly accepted description of our Universe. On the other hand, there has been strong evidence that the ...

A new theory for the origins of dark matter suggests that fast-moving, neutrino-like dark particles could have decoupled from Standard Model particles far earlier than previous theories had suggested.

Despite its tremendous success in predicting the existence of new particles and forces, the standard model of particle physics, designed over 50 years ago to explain the smallest building blocks of ...

In this video, we explore the Standard Model of particle physics, detailing the quantum field theories that describe fundamental particles and forces in the universe. Topics covered include: - ...

Wondering whether whether Dark Matter particles actually are produced inside a jet of standard model particles, led researchers to explore a new detector signature known as semi-visible jets, which ...

The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than others. Reading time 5 minutes For all practical purposes, the Standard ...

For decades, physicists searched for a missing piece of nature's puzzle, an elusive particle believed to explain why matter ...
