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.

In the model, the particles are shown as circles or spheres. However, the particles in ice, liquid water and steam look the same because they are all water, but in different states of matter.

As physicists continue their struggle to find and explain the origin of dark matter, the approximately 80% of the matter in ...

Energy transition Dark matter may have been created after the Big Bang, something that could soon be tested by gravitational ...

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 ...
