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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

"It's a fairly unusual question to ask in the scientific world, because most researchers would agree that dark matter is dark ...

The Higgs boson has since been regularly produced in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), allowing physicists to study its properties, but some of these are tricky to pin down precisely because it only ...

“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 ...

The new study from the team at the University of York suggests that dark matter could leave very faint, measurable marks on ...

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 ...

This result has been cooking for quite some time. The first experimental results date back to 2015, with publication in 2016. Essentially, the scientists took some lithium and shot protons at it. By ...
