The leading candidate for such new physics is supersymmetry – a theory which predicts that all the particles in the Standard Model have so-called superpartners. The Brookhaven experiment has already ...

Physicists have discovered a phenomenon that doesn't follow one of the basic assumptions held by the Standard Model of Physics.

These entities constitute individual threads of the scientific masterpiece that is the standard model of particle physics, our current best picture of matter and its workings.

The standard model of particle physics is often illustrated as a simple grid showing the 17 basic particles (shown above). But an alternative way of visualising it reveals the complex rules that ...
