At a meeting held at CERN this morning, scientists presented the latest results from the search for the long-sought Higgs particle. After 30 years of research and $9 billion of investment, they’ve ...
For decades, physicists searched for a missing piece of nature's puzzle, an elusive particle believed to explain why matter ...
On July 4, 2012, scientists at CERN confirmed the observation of the Higgs boson, an elementary particle first proposed in the 1960s. The boson’s discovery was a momentous occasion, as it meant ...
Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. It's now just over five years since the two major collaborations at the ...
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 ...
