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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The blueprint lays out the proposed path, environmental impact, scientific ambitions and project cost. Independent experts will take a look before CERN’s two dozen member countries — all European ...

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 ...

He says the subatomic neutrino attracts such special attention because compared to other particles in the standard model of cosmology – including the Higgs boson, the so-called ‘God particle’ that ...

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 ...
