When physicists model particle collisions they use a tool called a Feynman diagram, a simple schematic invented by Richard Feynman in the 1940s. To get a feel for these diagrams, consider a simple ...
Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in ...
Caltech scientists have found a fast and efficient way to add up large numbers of Feynman diagrams, the simple drawings ...
Feynman diagrams are based on the assumption that the more potential collisions and sub-collisions physicists account for, the more accurate their numerical predictions will be. This process of ...
Particle physicists have uncovered a large, hidden void in Khufu’s Pyramid, the largest pyramid in Giza, Egypt – built between 2600 and 2500 BC. The discovery, published in Nature, was made ...

A diagram of the BEAR project payload system, part of the first particle accelerator launched into space. Asimov wasn't alone in suggesting we develop an extraterrestrial particle accelerator.
Scientists on an experiment at the Large Hadron Collider confirmed this week the existence of a particle-like structure first observed at the LHC’s predecessor, the Tevatron. Members of the CMS ...
When it comes to the future of CERN and particle physics in general, the proposed successor to the LHC – the Future Circular Collider (FCC) – is an interesting prospect. More than 90 km in diameter – ...
