Every time I write about particle physics, I encounter a moment of uncertainty about a quantity that, at first glance, ought to be clear. How many kinds of elementary particles should I say there are?

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 ...

Crisp pieces of fried bacon or chicken are tasty morsels, but the grease splatters on the stovetop make for a messy cleanup. It’s a chore I’ve always dreaded, and that’s why I avoid making fried food ...

A tightly packed ball of office staples can be surprisingly strong.Try to pull it apart and the tangled metal resists like a solid object. But with the right movement or vibration, that same bundle ...

A pair of rare particles produced in high-energy proton collisions may be the clearest evidence yet that mass can emerge from empty space. The finding could shed light on one of the biggest puzzles in ...

You may not notice it right away, but your curtains are collecting dust, splatters, insect droppings, and airborne particles every day. The soil-gathering is particularly heavy in kitchens, bathrooms, ...

Physicists have long struggled to unite quantum mechanics—the theory governing tiny particles—with Einstein’s theory of gravity, which explains the behavior of stars, planets, and the structure of the ...
