One of the biggest open questions in particle physics today is how the Higgs boson interacts with itself. This "self-coupling" could help explain the evolution of the early universe and the mechanism ...

When fundamental particles are heavier or lighter than expected, physicists' understanding of the universe can tip into the unknown. A particle that is just beyond its predicted mass can unravel ...

Scientists at CERN’s ATLAS experiment have uncovered compelling evidence of Higgs bosons decaying into muons, an incredibly rare event that could deepen our understanding of how particles acquire mass ...

Have you ever looked up at the night sky and wondered what you're not seeing? The skies may be full of invisible "boson stars" that are made of an exotic form of matter that does not shine. We ...

Physicists on the CMS experiment announce the most elaborate mass measurement of a particle that is notoriously difficult to study and has captivated the physics community for decades. After an ...

A musical about particle physics is under development, with David Henry Hwang, the playwright behind “M. Butterfly.” By Dennis Overbye See more of our coverage in your search results.Encuentra más de ...

It’s often said in science that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Recent measurements of the mass of the elementary particle known as the W boson provide a useful case study as to ...

Physicists have made the most precise estimations yet of the “width” of the Higgs boson. In the standard model of particle physics, the Higgs boson imbues all other fundamental particles with mass. It ...
