Ten years ago, scientists announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, which helps explain why elementary particles (the smallest building blocks of nature) have mass. When you purchase through links ...

Editor's Note: This story was updated at 7:20 p.m. E.T. For a subatomic particle that remained hidden for nearly 50 years, the Higgs boson is turning out to be remarkably well behaved. Yet more ...

Weighted Z-photon(γ) mass distribution of events satisfying the H→Zγ selection in data. Events are weighted by the expected signal and background in a Zγ mass window containing 68% of the expected ...

Fresh evidence has come to light supporting the theory that the particle detected at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012 is indeed the elusive Higgs boson. The work is the result of an ...

Six years after discovering the Higgs boson, physicists have observed how the particle decays—a monumental contribution to scientists’ understanding of the Standard Model of particle physics and the ...

Physicists have plans for the future of the Higgs boson. July 4, 2013— -- One year ago, several hours before cities across the United States started their annual fireworks displays, a different ...

In the periodic table, no element is more important than another one. But in the Standard Model—a theory that explains the smallest constituents of the universe and the forces that govern them, minus ...

ARC Research Associate (Centre of Excellence for Particle Physics at Tera Scale), University of Adelaide On July 4, 2012, two experiments (ATLAS and CMS) at CERN announced the discovery of a new boson ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. It's now just over five years since the two major collaborations at the ...

For a subatomic particle that remained hidden for nearly 50 years, the Higgs boson is turning out to be remarkably well behaved. Yet more evidence from the world's largest particle accelerator, the ...
