For the past half century or so, a theory known by the understated name of the Standard Model has dominated the field of particle physics. This theory provides us with a detailed description of the 17 ...

Particle physics continues to probe the most fundamental constituents of matter while dark matter research seeks to illuminate the unseen mass that permeates our Universe. Recent efforts have ...

As a physicist working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern, one of the most frequent questions I am asked is “When are you going to find something?” Resisting the temptation to sarcastically ...
