Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something particles simply possess, a built-in feature explained by the Higgs ...

A new theory proposes that the universe’s fundamental forces and particle properties may arise from the geometry of hidden ...

On April 8, 2024, British theoretical physicist Peter Ware Higgs passed away at the age of 94. It was almost 12 years ago, on July 4, 2012, in a fairly inauspicious lecture hall located in Geneva, ...

There are probably very few people on this globe who at some point in time haven’t heard the term ‘Higgs Boson’ zip past, along with the term ‘God Particle’. As during the 2010s the scientists at CERN ...

The universe is permeated by a field known as the Higgs field, which gives everything its mass. But the Higgs field isn’t entirely stable, and if it were to “bubble,” it would change reality to such a ...

The Higgs boson has been found! The Higgs boson has not been found! What the heck is the Higgs boson? Has it really been found? And why should we care? The Higgs boson is a key particle in the ...

Although our universe may seem stable, having existed for a whopping 13.7 billion years, several experiments suggest that it is at risk – walking on the edge of a very dangerous cliff. And it’s all ...

There’s a lot more to the story of the Higgs boson than just one man named Higgs. Despite the appeal of the “lone genius” narrative, it’s rare that a discovery can be attributed solely to the work of ...

The discovery of the Higgs boson filled in a missing piece of the standard model of particle physics, which describes matter and its interactions. A decade later, physicists continue to probe the ...

I've been trying to explain quantum physics, forces, relativity, and space-time to my kid and we had a question that I'm finding difficult to find a solid answer to. Background you can skip if you ...
