The Standard Model of particle physics is a very well-tested theory that describes the fundamental particles and their interactions. However, it does have several key limitations. For example, it doesn’t account for dark matter or why neutrinos have masses. One of the main aims of experimental particle physics at the moment is therefore to search […]

The term dark energy, first used in 1998, is a proposed form of energy that affects the universe on the largest scales. Its primary effect is to drive the accelerating expansion of the universe – an observation that was awarded the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics. Dark energy is now a well established concept and […]
