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 ...

THE world’s most powerful particle accelerator is firing up its engines once again this week following an extended hiatus. After more than three years of upgrade and maintenance work, the Large Hadron ...

After a decade of meticulous measurements, scientists announced Thursday that a fundamental particle -- the W boson -- has a significantly greater mass than theorised, shaking the foundations of our ...

Efforts to unravel dark matter's mysteries have revealed a potential mass limitation due to its interaction with the Higgs boson. A new study suggests that dark matter particles exceeding a few ...

Today marks a decade since the landmark Higgs boson discovery was announced. Durham University’s Dr Martin Bauer and Dr Stephen Jones look at what this has meant for particle physics. Ten years ago, ...

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 ...

China's ambitious new particle accelerator was meant to pick up where the Large Hadron Collider left off, but the project was ...

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume. MARK COLVIN: European physicists believe that new data unveiled in Italy overnight strengthen the case ...
