Abnormalities found in the 'standard model of physics' by Fermilab and CERN could reveal a 'universal theory of everything' according to famed physicist Michio Kaku. In his latest book, Kaku, a ...

The Standard Model of particle physics is the best answer man has yet come up with to the question: "What is the universe made of?" Can you see what it is yet? Somewhere in the Standard Model of ...

Measurement of W boson particle mass confirms Standard Model of physics and reignites the search for other particles.

The theories and discoveries of thousands of physicists since the 1930s have resulted in a remarkable insight into the fundamental structure of matter. Everything in the universe is found to be made ...

As a physicist working on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern, one of the most frequent questions I am asked is “When are you going to find something?”. Resisting the temptation to sarcastically ...

When J J Thomson discovered the electron in a table-top experiment at Cambridge in 1897, he made the very first step on the long road to understanding the fundamental building blocks of matter. More ...

The concept of Lorentz symmetry underpins much of contemporary physics, serving as a central pillar in both the Standard Model and general relativity. The Standard Model Extension (SME) is a ...

The Large Hadron Collider at CERN revealed the Higgs boson in 2012, but has led to no comparable discovery since. It is worth asking what we hope to learn from the new data coming soon – and indeed ...
