In 2012, scientists confirmed the discovery of the elusive "God Particle" — also known as the Higgs boson. But what exactly is it, why does it matter, and how does it change our understanding of the ...

Europe's CERN laboratory said on Monday that a detailed analysis revealed no technical obstacles to building the world's biggest particle collider, even as critics took issue with the "pharaonic" ...

At nearly 56.5 miles across, the FCC would be more than three times the LHC’s size while including eight surface laboratory sites overseeing four ongoing experiments. The tunnel itself would be about ...

The Higgs, Dark Matter, and how the 2025 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics puts UP at the forefront of describing reality itself In 2012, a team at the European Organization for Nuclear ...

As if atoms weren’t already mind-blowingly small, never mind subatomic particles, CERN researchers in the CMS Collaboration were sifting through data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and ...

CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which famously discovered the "God particle" Higgs boson and is currently the world's powerful particle accelerator, is expected to have run its course by the ...

An interdisciplinary team led by Boston College physicists has discovered a new particle—or previously undetectable quantum excitation—known as the axial Higgs mode, a magnetic relative of the ...

The LHC—a 27-kilometer proton-smashing ring running about 100 meters below ground—has among other things been used to prove the existence of the Higgs boson. Dubbed the God particle ...

External experts highlight the possibility of gaining deeper insights into the Higgs boson, the elusive particle that sheds light on the formation of matter after the Big Bang. “This set of ...
