What is particle physics? Particle physics is the study of the universe at the smallest scale possible — the most elementary particles and forces that, when combined, make up everything.

The Ghost Particle: What Is a Neutrino and Could It Be the Key to Modern Physics? Scientists have one of astrophysics' most wanted particles in their sights.

Particle physics has always proceeded in two ways, of which new particles is one. The other is by making very precise measurements that test the predictions of theories and look for deviations ...

This week, this enormous scientific facility, ten years in the making, will begin its hunt for the most elusive particles in ...

Particle physics invented big, global science, and national and now global facilities. If history is any guide, nothing will prevent them from answering the big questions!

Over time, particle physics and astrophysics and computing have built upon one another’s successes. That coevolution continues today.

The particle physics department (DPNC) studies the fundamental structures and laws of nature from the largest dimensions in the Universe to the smallest of the microcosm by using three complementary ...

Going even bigger On top of the myriad particle physics projects in the works, physicists (and international collaborations) are considering even larger, next-generation colliders.

In a shocking revelation, Michio Kaku, one of the world’s leading physicists, has issued a terrifying warning about a ...

If particle physics went down the linear-collider route, which of these machines would come out on top is moot. On the face of things, the International Linear Collider is ahead.
