When particle physicists try to model experiments, they confront an impossible calculation — an infinitely long equation that lies beyond the reach of modern mathematics. Fortunately, they can ...

The Large Hadron Collider, or LHC, is the biggest machine humans have ever built. Pooling the resources of more than 100 countries, it accelerates protons to within a millionth of a percent of the ...

Scientists have used computational algebraic geometry to study predictions for particle physics experiments, such as those at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which first detected the Higgs particle ...

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/d5pkgc/particulate) has announced the addition of Elsevier Science and ...

A straightforward math tweak could bring tachyon fields into line with the rest of physics. Tachyons are faster-than-light particles, and tachyon fields are special cases of quantum field. The math ...

A never-before-seen particle known as the odderon has revealed itself in the hot guts of two particle colliders, confirming a 48-year-old theory. A tiny, wobbling muon just shook particle physics to ...

A hidden link has been found between two seemingly unrelated particle collision outcomes. It’s the latest example of a mysterious web of mathematical connections between disparate theories of physics.

The physics world is buzzing with news of an unexpected sighting at Fermilab’s Tevatron collider in Illinois – a glimpse of an unidentified particle that, should it prove to be real, will radically ...

Electrons 'surf' across space to create the northern lights, new study finds Scientists found definitive proof that Alfven waves are accelerating electrons in solar wind across space, powering the ...
