In July 2012, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Europe triumphantly announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, the long-sought linchpin of the subatomic world. Interacting with Higgs ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: It used to be thought that bizarre interactions between subatomic particles known as neutrinos could be explained by another type of neutrino. The ...

Current theories suggest that W and Z bosons acquire mass from interactions with the Higgs scalar field, but a new study suggests that the higher dimensional structure of spacetime could be the actual ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward solving a long-standing mystery in particle physics, by finding no sign of the particle many hoped would explain it. An international collaboration of ...

Deep underground in southern China, there is a 20,000-ton tank of liquid that can detect neutrinos. Named JUNO, the detector's first results are in — and they're very promising. When you purchase ...

The University of Chicago welcomed representatives from two leading European institutions on Nov. 19 to mark the expansion of science collaboration into the field of particle physics and cosmology.

The 2025 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to a trio of scientists – a Briton, a Frenchman and an American – for their ground-breaking discoveries in the field of quantum mechanics. John Clarke, ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. News and opinion about video games, television, movies and the internet. I just finished watching Monster: The Ed Gein Story, Ryan ...

The amplituhedron, a shape at the heart of particle physics, appears to be deeply connected to the mathematics of paper folding. The amplituhedron is a geometric shape with an almost mystical quality: ...

Forget about turtles; for all practical purposes, it’s really particles all the way down. Consider the seemingly simple matter of their size, the very thing that makes them so alien. We’re typically ...
