Scientists working at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider may be seeing the strongest hints yet of physics beyond the Standard Model — the decades-old theory that explains the fundamental particles and ...

After a decade of meticulous measurements, scientists announced Thursday that a fundamental particle -- the W boson -- has a significantly greater mass than theorized, shaking the foundations of our ...

The eta prime meson held together without one of the fundamental forces of the universe.

Scientists spent decades chasing signs of a mysterious new force hidden inside the muon, one of nature’s strangest particles.

Recent findings from research we have been carrying out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern in Geneva suggest that we might be closing in on signs of undiscovered physics. If confirmed, these ...

After Higgs Boson: Physics’ Next Move to Understand the Universe It’s been more than a decade since the European Organization for Nuclear Research (known as CERN) discovered the Higgs Boson, using ...

A shock measurement of the mass of a fundamental particle called the W boson ignited the physics world in April, as it appeared to flout the standard model of particle physics. Hundreds of papers have ...

The news that muons have a little extra wiggle in their step sent word buzzing around the world this spring. The Muon g-2 experiment hosted at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory announced April 7 ...

The W boson, one of the tiniest, most elementary particles in the known universe is causing a big ruckus in the field of particle physics. According to the Standard Model, W bosons (together with ...

A complete survey of all the particle and antiparticle activity that goes on during the Sun’s 11-year cycle has found previously unknown ways these particles behave. Cosmic rays coming from outside ...

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A powerful new particle accelerator that could be set up at Fermilab, a telescope to observe the oldest light in the universe, and research to learn more about mysteries such as dark ...

YOU might remember learning about symmetry at school. Maybe a teacher showed you a snowflake’s six-fold symmetry and you marvelled at how it looked the same no matter how you rotated it. Well, it ...
