The standard model of particle physics may be due for a philosophical remodel, including rethinking what qualifies each of its particles to count as a particle to begin with. Whether a particle is ...
After decades of hunting, physicists still don’t know what makes up most of the universe’s matter. Now they need to cast a wider net. Underneath an Apennine massif, below the Jinping Mountains of ...
When Mark Thomson was 13, he read a book about the European Organization for Nuclear Research, better known as CERN, a particle physics lab whose remit was to interrogate the fabric of reality. The ...
Cosmic evolution Dark matter and the early universe were central topics at the HECAP Workshop in Abu Dhabi. Credit: ESO/M Kornmesser The High Energy, Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (HECAP) Abu ...
Physicists know that their elegant theoretical description of forces and particles — the standard model of particle physics — must be incomplete, because there are a host of phenomena it cannot ...
Over the past decade or so, foundation models have emerged as the dominant paradigm for interacting with language, images, and code. Large Language Models (LLMs) can generate text. Vision models can ...
Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Ordinary atoms need both the ...
The largest-ever survey of physicists from around the world—released today—shows a distinct lack of consensus across many of physics's most important questions, from the nature of black holes and dark ...
Physicists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have uncovered new hints that certain particle decays may not behave as the Standard Model predicts. Credit: Stock A rare particle decay measured at the LHC ...

We introduce a relativistic complex scalar field model motivated by the Information Discrimination Theory (IDT) framework, in which the field amplitude is interpreted as a local measure of ...
A tiny discrepancy in particle physics has loomed for decades as an exciting possible crack in one of science's most successful theories, hinting at unknown forces or quantum objects. Now, an ...
