Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

Red lines show the disintegration of a B-sub-s into two muons in the CMS camera at the Large Hadron Collider. Yello, green and blue are used to denote particles other than muons. Purdue University ...

The standard model of particle physics is often illustrated as a simple grid showing the 17 basic particles (shown above). But an alternative way of visualising it reveals the complex rules that ...

Once in a very great while, an ephemeral particle called a kaon arises and then quickly decays away into three other obscure entities. Whether or not this happens in a particular way has very little ...

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) provides valuable insights into the physical processes within batteries – but how can these measurements directly inform physics-based models? In this ...
