Particle physics continues to probe the most fundamental constituents of matter while dark matter research seeks to illuminate the unseen mass that permeates our Universe. Recent efforts have ...

Particle physics seeks to understand the fundamental constituents of matter and the forces that govern their interactions. The field has evolved from early studies of protons, neutrons and electrons ...

Welcome to the first Physics World Particle & Nuclear Briefing bringing you the best of our recent coverage in these two areas, including – of course – plenty on CERN, which is celebrating its 70th ...

The “P5” panel of US particle physicists says that work on developing a future muon collider could allow the US to regain the “energy frontier”, as Michael Allen reveals One for the future A muon ...

In the literal sense, nothing is simpler than an elementary particle: By definition, a particle is considered to be elementary only if there is no evidence that it is made up of smaller constituents.

Over time, particle physics and astrophysics and computing have built upon one another’s successes. That coevolution continues today. In the mid-twentieth century, particle physicists were peering ...

Scientists in the particle physics community are bringing environmental and climate issues to the table in discussions about future research. Using a particle collider requires a lot of energy. For ...
