Particle physics is the branch of physics that studies the fundamental building blocks of matter and the forces that govern their interactions. It seeks to understand the universe at its most basic level, probing particles like quarks, leptons, and bosons—most famously including the Higgs boson, discovered at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. These particles are described by the Standard Model, a powerful but incomplete framework that researchers continually test and refine. Ongoing experiments aim to explore unanswered questions such as the nature of dark matter, the imbalance between matter and antimatter, and the unification of fundamental forces. Particle physics sits at the frontier of human knowledge, helping to reveal the underlying structure of reality itself.
