Explore 10 new works related to particle physics and astrophysics, plus a bonus book on math. Symmetry writer Mike Perricone is back again with a round-up of this year’s popular writing related to ...

This year’s list includes a book about an eminent physicist striving to avoid fame, two unique books for children, and a book with equations you'll actually be able to read. Elusive: How Peter Higgs ...

In the literal sense, nothing is simpler than an elementary particle: By definition, a particle is considered to be elementary only if there is no evidence that it is made up of smaller constituents.

Sam Baron receives funding from the Australian Research Council. The Matter of Everything tells the history of physics through experiments. Any book about the history of science for a general audience ...

There’s a lot more to the story of the Higgs boson than just one man named Higgs. Despite the appeal of the “lone genius” narrative, it’s rare that a discovery can be attributed solely to the work of ...

We’ve created a new way to explore the fundamental constituents of the universe. [Editor’s note: The full, interactive map is available below.] All of nature springs from a handful of components — the ...

The Standard Model is the guiding light of particle physics. At its barest essence, the theory describes the 17 fundamental particles (six quarks, six leptons, and five bosons) that make up normal ...

Physicists have nailed a fiendishly difficult measurement — the mass of the fundamental particle the W boson. The result, from the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), is in line with ...
