A team of physicists used ChatGPT to help crack a long-standing problem in quantum field theory, producing a new closed-form expression for single-minus gluon tree amplitudes that specialists had ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

What is meant, when an experiment anticipates less than a quarter of an event, and four are registered by the detector? That ...

Quantum electrodynamics (QED) is the most rigorously tested quantum field theory of the standard model of particle physics 1. It describes the fundamental electromagnetic interactions of particles and ...

A new theory suggests the universe’s greatest secrets are hiding in a “zeptouniverse” that’s ready to be explored—without waiting until 2070 for a new collider.

The Theoretical Advanced Study Institute in Elementary Particle Physics (TASI) recently concluded its 40th year, bringing 65 students from around the world to Boulder to delve into the “Frontiers of ...

On July 4, 2012, scientists at CERN confirmed the observation of the Higgs boson, an elementary particle first proposed in the 1960s. The boson’s discovery was a momentous occasion, as it meant ...

No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...

Over time, particle physics and astrophysics and computing have built upon one another’s successes. That coevolution continues today. In the mid-twentieth century, particle physicists were peering ...
