The CMS and ATLAS experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have observed an unforeseen feature in the behaviour of top ...

With big outstanding questions and little hints of new physics, physicists are now rethinking some of their most fundamental assumptions. For centuries, scientists thought the universe was filled with ...

Yesterday, at the annual Rencontres de Moriond conference taking place in La Thuile, Italy, the LHCb collaboration at CERN reported a new milestone in our understanding of the subtle yet profound ...

Neutrinos are notoriously aloof, but it’s not entirely their fault. Neutrinos are some of the most abundant particles in the universe, and they are everywhere. Every second, more than 6 trillion ...

Writer Chetna Krishna follows CERN’s “coolest” transport, a test of a system to ship stored antimatter across the continent.

The best of both worlds Collider experiments crash beams of particles, pumped full of energy, into one another or into a target. In the crash, all of that energy can briefly convert into new particles ...

An advisory committee recommends the US work to advance three key areas of emerging accelerator technology.

In the 1900s, Albert Einstein unified the concepts of space and time, giving us a useful new way to picture the universe.

The Higgs boson is the only fundamental particle known to be scalar, meaning it has no quantum spin. This fact answers questions about our universe, but it also raises new ones.

Explore 10 new works related to particle physics and astrophysics, plus a bonus book on math. Symmetry writer Mike Perricone is back again with a round-up of this year’s popular writing related to ...

Learn about the Standard Model of particle physics and how physicists use it to predict the (subatomic) future.
