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, ...

Could the universe be in a metastable (false vacuum) state? This video explains how the Higgs boson and the top quark shape ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

When Paul Glaysher was approaching the end of his master's degree in 2012, everyone was talking about the Higgs boson. After two years of smashing protons together, CERN’s Large Hadron Collider was ...

There is much speculation regarding how the Higgs Boson and Higgs field came into being, and many scientists wish to claim the discovery as their own. In truth, there were scientists that were working ...

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, ...
