Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider triumphantly announced the discovery of the Higgs boson back in the summer of 2012. Nicknamed “the God particle,” it was the last new undiscovered particle ...

Workshops around the world train science teachers to incorporate particle physics into their classrooms. Picture this: A stationary object such as a vase suddenly explodes, sending fragments flying.

If you want to explain what was and what is, you need particle physics. Because everything we see consists of molecules and atoms, and atoms in turn consist of atomic nuclei and electrons. The atomic ...

Experimental particle physicist Jessica Esquivel explores the beneficial collaboration between artificial intelligence and particle physics that is advancing both fields Detailed view Jessica Esquivel ...

The “P5” panel of US particle physicists says that work on developing a future muon collider could allow the US to regain the “energy frontier”, as Michael Allen reveals One for the future A muon ...

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 ...

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in equations rather than explained from first principles. A new proposal argues that ...
