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 ...

The 2012 discovery of the Higgs boson at CERN’s LHC confirmed the Standard Model, revealing how particles gain mass. Brian Cox helped popularize its significance, inspiring public interest in particle ...

Imagine a particle so elusive, so rare, that it's difficult even to catch a glimpse of it. That's the challenge researchers face when they try to study the Higgs boson, a fundamental particle—also ...

Higgs Boson Collection is a trilogy of brain-bending puzzle games where every rotation counts and every second matters. Your mission? Guide mysterious spheres through a precise network of pathways — ...

Johns Hopkins University’s David Kaplan was a film student turned theoretical physicist when he came up with the idea for a documentary on the search for the Higgs boson—at the time, the last ...

A musical about particle physics is under development, with David Henry Hwang, the playwright behind “M. Butterfly.” By Dennis Overbye On a recent Friday afternoon in a basement room in Midtown ...

The Higgs boson (blue) may be created by the interaction of gluons (yellow) during proton collisions. Protons consist of two up quarks (red) and one down quark (purple), bound by gluons so strongly ...
