(via SciShow) The Standard Model of Particle Physics is the best theory scientists have to explain how the universe works on subatomic scales. But just because it's the "best" doesn't mean there ...

For over a decade, confusion over the size of the proton has held scientists back. Disagreeing measurements of the subatomic particle’s radius meant that scientists couldn’t test one of their key ...

In July 2012, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Europe triumphantly announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, the long-sought linchpin of the subatomic world. Interacting with Higgs ...

Current theories suggest that W and Z bosons acquire mass from interactions with the Higgs scalar field, but a new study suggests that the higher dimensional structure of spacetime could be the actual ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward solving a long-standing mystery in particle physics, by finding no sign of the particle many hoped would explain it. An international collaboration of ...

Two papers challenged the existence of theorized particles called sterile neutrinos that might account for mysteries like the cosmos’s dark matter. By Kenneth Chang Just how many types of neutrinos ...

Deep underground in southern China, there is a 20,000-ton tank of liquid that can detect neutrinos. Named JUNO, the detector's first results are in — and they're very promising. When you purchase ...

The University of Chicago welcomed representatives from two leading European institutions on Nov. 19 to mark the expansion of science collaboration into the field of particle physics and cosmology.

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

After months of waiting, more affordable versions of the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y have finally arrived. Going forward—at least until Elon Musk changes things—both of the cheaper versions of the ...

The Tesla Model 3 Standard arrives with fabric seats, 321 miles of range and rear-wheel drive. It's set to cost $36,990, making it one of the most affordable cars Tesla has ever sold, and the cheapest ...

Tesla's long-awaited cheaper Model Y starts at under $40,000. The company claims its the most efficient Model Y ever. Driving range and software haven't been compromised, but Tesla has deleted plenty ...
