No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...

The standard model of particle physics is beginning to show cracks. A fundamental particle called the muon has been caught behaving strangely, and new experimental results from Fermilab in Illinois ...

Britain is preparing to cancel its contribution to one of the Large Hadron Collider's next major upgrades.

Physicist Meghan Anzelc is just as surprised as anyone she wound up with an enjoyable career in the insurance industry. Figuring out insurance rates and conducting particle physics research are more ...

Recently, I watched a fellow particle physicist talk about a calculation he had pushed to a new height of precision. His tool? A 1980s-era computer program called FORM. Particle physicists use some of ...
