The discovery of the Higgs Boson in 2012 represented a major turning point for particle physics marking the completion of what is known as the standard model of particle physics. Yet, the standard ...

Modern engineering software was built around an assumption that made sense for its time: different physics problems required different tools, solvers, and workflows. Structural analysis lived in one ...

Artificial intelligence has moved from crunching physics data in the background to actively proposing new theories and experiments. The hope is that these systems might finally expose cracks in the ...

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American What does it say about particle physics that ...

Scientists genuinely don't know what most of our universe is made of. The atoms we're made from only make up four per cent. The rest is dark matter and dark energy (for 'dark', read 'don't know'). The ...
