How did the universe come into being? There are a multitude of theories on this subject. In a Physical Review Letters paper, three scientists formulate a new model: according to this, inflation, the ...

An unexpected behavior in a particle decay seems to disagree with the predictions of the Standard Model, despite its high ...

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.

A Practical Step-by-Step Guide, by Marco Fabbrichesi, offers an intermediate-level presentation of the Standard Model.

Artificial intelligence has moved from crunching physics data in the background to actively proposing new theories and experiments. The hope is that these systems might finally expose cracks in the ...
