Our standard model of elementary particles and forces has recently become as close to “complete” as we could conceivably ask for. Every single one of the elementary particles — in all their different ...

A new tool to break down and segment large data set problems and problems with many parameters in particle physics could have a wide range of applications. One of the major challenges in particle ...

When a researcher asked Nobel Prize winning physicists and other scientists whether there was any new physics left to discover, this is what they said. The story has been told many times. At the ...

The study seeks to explain the presence of dark matter using a WED model. The scientists studied fermion masses, which they ...

Mathematicians have broken through a long-standing barrier in the study of “minimizing surfaces,” which play an important ...

A new theory claims to have solved five of the biggest problems in physics all at once. The theory was developed by a group of French physicists at the University of Paris-Saclay, and it introduces a ...

The theoretical particle physicist Ann Nelson, who died on August 4 at age 61, was a font of brilliant ideas and a champion of ending discrimination in the field. The Standard Model of particle ...

From solar panels to nanoscale machines, physics applications of origami and kirigami have surged in recent years. Simon Perks reports (Courtesy: iStock/Li Kim Goh) We’ve all admired the delicate ...
