It’s difficult to overstate just how much the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has helped advance our understanding of the ...

The Large Hadron Collider, the world’s largest atom smasher, has shut down for a planned 4-year upgrade that will make it 10 times more sensitive than its initial version.

As the Large Hadron Collider switches off its beams for a four-year overhaul, the question is no longer what it has found but whether anything bigger is worth building ...

The High-Luminosity LHC, planned to switch on in 2030, could help physicists unravel mysteries about the Higgs boson, dark ...

François Englert, Nobel laureate and co-discoverer of the Higgs mechanism, passed away at 93, leaving behind a profound body of work in physics.

The discovery of the Higgs boson at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012 marked a significant milestone in particle physics. Since then, the ATLAS and CMS collaborations have been diligently ...

If you’ve heard the news about the Nobel Prize in physics, you might be asking yourself: What is a Higgs boson anyway? If you know one thing about the Higgs boson, it’s probably that it’s called the ...

Yesterday, my friend and collaborator Ainissa Ramirez wrote a very popular guest post, entitled The Higgs Boson: Why You Should Care, and Sadly, Why You Don’t. Here’s her follow-up, explaining in very ...

Key to understanding the Higgs boson and its role in the Standard Model is understanding how it interacts with matter particles, i.e. quarks and leptons. There are three generations of matter ...

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 nature of dark matter continues to perplex astronomers. As the search for dark matter particles continues to turn up nothing, it’s tempting to throw out the dark matter model altogether, but ...

For decades, physicists searched for a missing piece of nature's puzzle, an elusive particle believed to explain why matter ...
