One of the biggest open questions in particle physics today is how the Higgs boson interacts with itself. This "self-coupling ...

In this video, I explain supersymmetry (SUSY), its significance, and why it remains undiscovered. Supersymmetry posits a new ...

Javier Duarte kicked off his scientific career by witnessing the biggest particle physics event in decades. On July 4, 2012, scientists at the laboratory CERN near Geneva announced the discovery of ...

Nobel Laureate Peter Higgs died earlier this year. Twelve years ago this week, physicists discovered the particle that bears his name. When researchers at the Large Hadron Collider announced the ...

Ten years ago scientists announced one of the most momentous discoveries in physics: the Higgs boson. The particle, predicted 48 years earlier, was the missing piece in the Standard Model of particle ...

A Queen Mary University of London research team has taken its work to the heart of UK democracy, with physicist Dr Christos ...

There was a bump in the middle of the night. On June 14, 2012, Johns Hopkins physics and astronomy professor Andrei Gritsan analyzed data in a small meeting room at the CERN in Switzerland. He worked ...

Ten years ago, scientists announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, which helps explain why elementary particles (the smallest building blocks of nature) have mass. For particle physicists, this was ...

The Higgs-like boson that was unveiled this week at Europe's CERN physics lab is one of the heaviest subatomic particles ever detected, but it also has a lighter side. Like light beer, for example.

Scientists know the Higgs boson interacts with extremely massive particles. Now, they’re starting to study how it interacts with lighter particles as well. Immediately after the Big Bang, every ...

In fact, the first tantalizing evidence is already in and we take a look. The discovery of the Higgs boson ten years ago in the Large Hadron Collider was the culmination of decades of work and the ...
