The Standard Model is a kind of periodic table of the elements for particle physics. But instead of listing the chemical elements, it lists the fundamental particles that make up the atoms that make ...

TULELA: Solids have a fixed shape and fixed volume and cannot be compressed because in this model, there is no space for the particles to move into. Let’s add some energy to the solid.

A century ago, physicists laid the foundations of quantum mechanics. One of them, Louis de Broglie, disavowed a famous theory ...

Particles can be atoms, molecules or ions. Particles behave differently in solids, liquids and gases. The particle model explains the differences between solids, liquids and gases. Changes of ...

Out of the limelight, theoretical physicists seek the math that can explain the universe’s particles and forces ...

For 40 years, a theory called the standard model has predicted everything seen when subatomic particles are smashed together in particle accelerators. For just as long, theorists have dreamed of a ...

The big cosmic joke of dark matter is that, although we can’t see it, it apparently makes up the vast majority of all the ...
