A key theory of particle physics, the Standard Model has withstood test after test. But there are holes in the theory, particularly when it comes to gravity.

The Standard Model is our best theory for how the universe operates, but there are some missing pieces that physicists are struggling to find.

The standard model of particle physics may be broken New, precise measurements of already discovered particles are shaking up physics, according to a scientist working at the Large Hadron Collider.

Do scientists need to re-examine the basic model of the universe? Using new measurements of cosmic distances, astronomers have refined their calculation of the Hubble Constant, a number that ...

IFLScience traveled to CERN to get an exclusive insight into the crucial theory of particle physics, its limitations, and what might lie beyond.

An experiment with a single electron, trapped for months on end, produced one of the most precise tests yet of the standard model of particle physics.

The Standard Model is one of the most well-tested theories in particle physics. But scientists are searching for new physics beyond it.

The Standard Model predicts that quark-containing composite particles (such as mesons and baryons) which undergo weak decays should display an important difference between matter and antimatter.

Physicists know a lot about the most fundamental properties of the universe, but they certainly don’t know everything. 2021 was a big year for physics – what was learned and what’s coming next?
