On July 4, 2012, researchers at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland announced with great fanfare that they had ...

The Standard Model. What a dull name for the most accurate scientific theory known to human beings. More than a quarter of the Nobel Prizes in physics of the last century are direct inputs to or ...

Particle physics has always proceeded in two ways, of which new particles is one. The other is by making very precise measurements that test the predictions of theories and look for deviations from ...

How did the universe come into being? There are a multitude of theories on this subject. In a Physical Review Letters paper, ...

Jason Bono was one of the researchers behind a major scientific moment — when tiny particles unexpectedly unraveled one of the most important and successful theories in physics. Bono, who earned his ...

The current Standard Model of particle physics begins to unravel when probed much beyond the range of current particle accelerators. So no matter what the Large Hadron Collider finds, it is going to ...

There is a limit to how big we can build particle colliders on Earth, whether that is because of limited space or limited ...

As a physicist working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern, one of the most frequent questions I am asked is “When are you going to find something?” Resisting the temptation to sarcastically ...

Jennifer Manise of Longview Foundation shares a theory. Can we, as a field, validate her prediction? I spent the last month and a half traveling to different parts of the United States to participate ...

Peter Higgs was awarded the Nobel Prize in 2013 for discovering the God Particle. His theory shook the scientific world in 1964 when he first proposed it. Renowned British physicist Peter Higgs, who ...
