This is what the creation of a Higgs Boson looks like to the Large Hadron Collider. (Credit: CERN) The Higgs boson is, if ...

The masses of fundamental particles such as the Z and W bosons could have arisen from the twisted geometry of hidden dimensions, a new theoretical paper has demonstrated. The work has outlined a way ...

Although our universe may seem stable, having existed for a whopping 13.7 billion years, several experiments suggest that it is at risk – walking on the edge of a very dangerous cliff. And it’s all ...

Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

There are probably very few people on this globe who at some point in time haven’t heard the term ‘Higgs Boson’ zip past, along with the term ‘God Particle’. As during the 2010s the scientists at CERN ...

The Higgs boson has been found! The Higgs boson has not been found! What the heck is the Higgs boson? Has it really been found? And why should we care? The Higgs boson is a key particle in the ...

NPR's Ayesha Rascoe speaks to Frank Close, a physics professor at Oxford University, about theoretical physicist Peter Higgs. Higgs died on Monday at the age of 94. Even if you're not into theoretical ...

Physicists are quietly testing an audacious idea: that the mass of everything around us might not come from an invisible field, but from the hidden geometry of space itself. Instead of treating extra ...

One of the exciting aspects of some fields of physics is that they involve calculating the expected time until the Universe ends or experiences fundamental shifts that would render most if not all of ...
