If you want to explain what was and what is, you need particle physics. Because everything we see consists of molecules and atoms, and atoms in turn consist of atomic nuclei and electrons. The atomic ...

The entire field of particle physics is set to switch to open-access publishing, a milestone in the push to make research results freely available to readers. Particle physics is already a paragon of ...

As science produces an ever-growing flood of information, researchers in many fields struggle with how to collect, store, manage and distribute “big data.” Perhaps they could learn a thing or two from ...

The elusive Higgs particle has the power to undo physics as we know it. The fact that it hasn't could have big implications about the nature of the universe. When you purchase through links on our ...

This year marked the 70th anniversary of the European Council for Nuclear Research, which is known universally as CERN. To celebrate, we have published a bumper crop of articles on particle and ...

As of 1 January 2026, Raimond Snellings will join the CERN Council as a representative of the Netherlands. The Council is the highest decision-making body of the world’s largest particle physics ...

Drexel’s Department of Physics is home to faculty who are leaders in the field of particle physics. Our research spans neutrino properties, neutrino astronomy, and the search for dark matter, and our ...

Particle theorist Ben Allanach gives his reaction to yesterday’s seminar, where ATLAS and CMS reported on what we have (and have not yet) learned from a year of the highest-energy particle collisions ...
