We explain how The Standard Model of particle physics works! The Standard Model of particle physics is arguably the most successful theory in the history of physics. It predicts the results of ...

Since dark matter particles have never been directly detected, we do not know how they move, and in particular we do not know how they fall inside gravitational potential wells. Usually it is assumed ...

Our best model of particle physics explains only about 5 percent of the universe. The Standard Model is a thing of beauty. It is the most rigorous theory of particle physics, incredibly precise and ...

Learn about the standard model of particle physics, the most accurate physical theory yet. Our laws of physics are equations of motion, along with some associated constants. We’ve talked about the ...

We’ve created a new way to explore the fundamental constituents of the universe. [Editor’s note: The full, interactive map is available below.] All of nature springs from a handful of components — the ...
