“You can do it quickly, you can do it cheaply, or you can do it right. We did it right.” These were some of the opening remarks from David Toback, leader of the Collider Detector at Fermilab, as he ...

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 ...

In a poignant moment for the scientific community, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Yang Chen-Ning has passed away at the age of 103. This article delves into his remarkable life, groundbreaking ...

Since the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, physicists have made considerable progress in exploring its properties. Does this mean the subject is closed? Far from it! In new results presented ...

Physicists at CERN have measured the life of the Higgs boson with greater accuracy than ever before. Since the legendary particle only lives for a tiny fraction a second, the scientists came up with a ...

Physicists around the world are vying to build the planet’s next super collider. Any such machine would be kilometres long and would consume as much energy as a medium-sized city — but the carbon ...

Two experiments hunting for a whisper of a particle that prevents whole galaxies from flying apart recently published some contradictory results. One came up empty handed, while the other gives us ...

Have you ever looked up at the night sky and wondered what you're not seeing? The skies may be full of invisible "boson stars" that are made of an exotic form of matter that does not shine. We ...

The physicists who discovered the so-called 'God Particle' were awarded the Nobel Prize this year, but one writer says people still aren't paying enough attention. Scientist Ainissa Ramirez tells host ...
