If researchers can figure those out, the new information may help build a more complete standard model of particle physics, as well as expand our knowledge of the inner workings of planets ...

A change in one particle instantly influences the other, regardless of the distance between them. In 1964, physicist John Bell posited that such changes can be induced and occur instantaneously ...

When it comes to building particle accelerators the credo has always been “bigger, badder, better”. While the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) with its 27 km circumference and €7.5 billion budget ...

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 ...

Helen Edwards was a particle physicist who led the design and construction of the Tevatron, a machine built to probe deeper into the atom than anyone had gone before.

A type of binary-system known as a microquasar has been found to be firing out γ-rays at high energy-levels, which may make it a candidate to be a long-theorized natural particle-accelerator ...

In the Master’s Programme in Particle Physics and Astrophysical Sciences, you focus on gaining an extensive understanding of these phenomena. You will also acquire proficiency in the use of ...

Particles behave differently in solids, liquids and gases. The particle model explains the differences between solids, liquids and gases. Changes of state Solids, liquids and gases change state ...

The standard academic entry requirement for this PhD is an upper second-class (2:1) honours degree in a discipline directly relevant to the PhD (or international equivalent) OR any upper-second class ...

he adds. Travelling to space is something we could all be doing in the future, according to Prof Cox, the UK’s best-known particle physicist. Speaking ahead of his new BBC Two series about the ...

The table below shows a comparison of the same substance in three different states. A single particle does not have the properties of the material it is part of. The properties of a substance are ...
