So physicists have been on the hunt for any sign of difference between matter and antimatter, known in the field as a ...

The Higgs boson’s decay into muons happens in only about one in every 5000 Higgs decays. So, the team had to search for a ...

Ireland’s long journey to membership of Cern, one of the world’s largest centres for scientific research, has reached its ...

Physicists from the University of Pennsylvania, working with colleagues at Arizona State University, are examining the limitations of a framework that aims to unify the laws of physics throughout the ...

Here’s Part II of our insider’s look at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The machine that National Geographic said was looking for the God Particle, or the Higgs Boson Particle.

In physics, there are two great pillars of thought that don't quite fit together. The Standard Model of particle physics ...

Work at the Large Hadron Collider confirmed in 2013 the existence of the Higgs boson, the central piece in a puzzle known as the standard model that helps explains some fundamental forces in the ...

This means the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the most powerful particle accelerator ever built, has given scientists a glimpse into conditions that existed when the universe was less than a second old.

The next head of Europe's CERN physics laboratory said Thursday that he favoured moving forward with plans for a giant particle collider far more powerful than the collider that discovered the ...

Cern's Large Hadron Collider routinely collides particles at energies equivalent to a fraction of a second after the Big Bang, but a particle with the energy of an LHC collision hits every square ...
