The Science Quiz | The subatomic realm

The Hindu  

The Science Quiz appears twice a week in the daily science page. There are four fundamental forces of nature: electromagnetic, weak-nuclear, strong-nuclear, and gravitational forces. The ________ _____ of particle physics is the leading theory that describes three of the four fundamental forces. At a very high energy, the electromagnetic and the weak-nuclear forces unify to become the electroweak force.

Particle physics pushing cancer treatment boundaries

The Hindu  

Researchers at Europe's science lab CERN, who regularly use particle physics to challenge our understanding of the universe, are also applying their craft to upend the limits to cancer treatment. In one CERN lab, called CLEAR, facility coordinator Roberto Corsini stands next to a large, linear particle accelerator consisting of a 40-metre metal beam with tubes packed in aluminium foil …

Posing a hefty problem for physicists, a fundamental particle weighs in heavier than expected

Salon  

The model we have for understanding the universe's fundamental particles is a bit like a gearbox: one tiny change to any one single particles' properties throws off the mechanics of the other particles, too. Our understanding of the fundamental particles, something known as the Standard Model of particle physics, is one of the most towering human achievements of the past …

Is the LHC on the brink of discovering new physics?

The Hindu  

Once in a way, the world of physics is in a state of upheaval – experiments are carried out that reveal limitations to older, established theories, and new physics is born. Verge of discovery While the findings were not sufficiently strong to be counted as a discovery, CERN scientists were excited enough to reveal that if the anomaly they had …

Force of nature: Scientists discover 'brand new' type of particle at CERN

Firstpost  

Scientists believe they may have discovered a “brand-new force of nature” at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider that could explain why certain atomic particles behave unexpectedly and which may transform our understanding the rudiments of physics. Authors of the research said this week that their results should “get physicists’ hearts beating just a little faster” after they discovered evidence of a …
