particle physics

The "free-range mathematician" and "architect of particle physics" has passed away in Princeton.

What is a particle phenomenologist?

What is everything made of? In the final article in this series, Elias Gårding takes us to the very edge of our current knowledge.

What is everything made of? In the third article in this series, Elias Gårding takes us down the QFT rabbit hole.

What is everything made of? In the second article in this series, Elias Gårding reveals the equation that captures (almost) all the known laws of nature.

What is everything made of? Elias Gårding begins a fascinating series of articles that will tell you everything we currently know about the answer to this question.

Celebrating the 150th anniversary of Maxwell's equations we talk to physicist John Ellis about what they mean for modern technology and our understanding of the Universe.

Have physicists at CERN found a new Higgs boson?

CERN's Large Hadron Collider is one of the few scientific experiments to sparked wide-spread media coverage, particularly with the 2012 announcement of the discovery of the long-sought Higgs boson. So what really goes on at CERN and why the hubbub about the Large Hadron Collider, known as the LHC?

Find out all about the Large Hadron Collider in this package of introductory articles.
