The Higgs boson, discovered at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012, plays a central role in the Standard Model of particle physics, endowing elementary particles such as quarks with mass through ...

Wait, what? New Higgs boson results? Did you think it was over? Oh hell no. A post today from physicist Matt Strassler discussing the newest Higgs findings puts it well, “Knowledge about nature does ...

Tomorrow morning, researchers at CERN, the Large Hadron Collider’s home, will announce new results from the past year of hunting for the Higgs boson. The buzz is that it will be good news — good news ...

In 2012 the Higgs boson — often called the "God Particle" — was discovered. The Higgs gives mass to fundamental particles; in ...

This article is by Ned Potter, a senior vice president at the communications firm RLM Finsbury and a former science correspondent for ABC News and CBS News. The Higgs boson, the subatomic particle ...

More than two years after physicists discovered the Higgs boson, there’s still a lot they don’t know about the elusive particle. Now, they want your help to make the next discovery about this particle ...

Something is seriously wrong with gravity, and nobody's quite sure why. The problem is that gravity is too weak. Out of the four fundamental physical forces in the universe—gravity, electromagnetism, ...

To explain the masses of electroweak bosons—the W and Z bosons—theorists in the 1960s postulated a mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking. While this mathematical formalism is relatively simple, ...

Early Tuesday morning, the Royal Swedish Academy of Science awarded this year's Nobel Prize in Physics to two theoretical physicists — Peter Higgs and François Englert — who each independently ...
