A recent observation of an extremely rare subatomic process allows scientists to test the Standard Model’s boundaries. At the smallest scales, matter is governed by a series of rules outlined in the ...
In their simulated system, image data is first simplified using a process called principal component analysis (PCA), which reduces the amount of information while preserving key features. A complex ...

It’s often said in science that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Recent measurements of the mass of the elementary particle known as the W boson provide a useful case study as to ...
A new measurement of a fundamental particle called the W boson appears to defy the standard model of particle physics, our current understanding of how the basic building blocks of the universe ...
Scientists study rare, one-in-a-trillion heavy boson collisions happening inside the LHC. The Large Hadron Collider is the world’s most powerful particle accelerator. It accelerates and smashes ...
The Standard Model of Particle Physics has withstood rigorous test after test over many decades, and the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 provided the last observational piece of the puzzle. But ...
