Drexel’s Department of Physics hosted its annual Kaczmarczik Lecture and Science Fair on February 27. This year’s Kaczmarczik Lecture was the 24th installment of this signature College of Arts and ...

From the outside, the high-speed collisions of atomic nuclei inside particle accelerators like CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) may seem like they have very little in common with more mundane ...

No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...

A mysterious magnetic property of subatomic particles called muons hints that new fundamental particles may be lurking undiscovered. In a painstakingly precise experiment, muons’ gyrations within a ...

For the past half century or so, a theory known by the understated name of the Standard Model has dominated the field of particle physics. This theory provides us with a detailed description of the 17 ...

The Standard Model is the modern physical understanding of three of the four forces of nature: electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force. When you purchase through links on ...

The most exciting possible avenue for physics beyond the standard model of particle physics has been, for years, the discrepancy in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. After refinement in the ...

IN 1973, physicist Steven Weinberg gave a talk in Aix-en-Provence, France. It was there, according to Weinberg, that he first used the term “standard model” to describe the nascent description of the ...

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Physics Day has brought teachers and students to the South Carolina State Fair since 1997. “When you come to the fair and we actually study forces in motion, that’s part of the ...
