Scientists at CERN have discovered an ultra-rare particle decay process, opening a new path to find physics beyond our understanding of how the building blocks of matter interact. This is an ...

The famous particle accelerator has gone silent, but its next chapter could usher in a new era of particle physics.

For decades, physicists searched for a missing piece of nature's puzzle, an elusive particle believed to explain why matter has mass. Nicknamed the "God particle", the Higgs boson became one of the ...

Scientists working with particle colliders have long been at the frontier of discovering new dimensions of reality. Recently, a groundbreaking discovery at a leading particle collider has sent ripples ...

Neither matter nor force, paraparticles would be something else entirely. Fresh hints that they exist are raising hopes that ...

After Higgs Boson: Physics’ Next Move to Understand the Universe It’s been more than a decade since the European Organization for Nuclear Research (known as CERN) discovered the Higgs Boson, using ...

After a decade of meticulous measurements, scientists announced Thursday that a fundamental particle -- the W boson -- has a significantly greater mass than theorized, shaking the foundations of our ...

Elementary particle physics reflects the human quest to understand the basic building blocks of nature and the rules that govern the physical world. This quest has led not only to critical scientific ...

The W boson, one of the tiniest, most elementary particles in the known universe is causing a big ruckus in the field of particle physics. According to the Standard Model, W bosons (together with ...
