Although its existence had been theorized for decades, the Higgs boson was finally observed to exist in 2012 at the Large ...

How the world of the smallest particles is structured, what is known about fundamental forces, and what particles have to do ...

If you want to explain what was and what is, you need particle physics. Because everything we see consists of molecules and atoms, and atoms in turn consist of atomic nuclei and electrons. The atomic ...

The CMS collaboration reports the first measurement of the quantum properties of a family of tetraquarks that was recently ...

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...

Detected by Boston College researchers, the axial Higgs mode, and materials that contain it, could support quantum sensors to help answer persistent questions in particle physics The previously ...

The late Prof Peter Higgs has gifted his Nobel Prize medal to the university where he proposed a groundbreaking idea that would change scientists' understanding of the universe. Prof Higgs was a ...

The geometry of space, where physical laws unfold, may also hold answers to some of the deepest questions in fundamental physics. The very structure of spacetime might underlie every interaction in ...

The geometry of space, the setting in which physical laws operate, may hold clues to some of the biggest unanswered questions in fundamental physics. The underlying structure of spacetime itself could ...

In modern physics, the Higgs boson is famous for giving particles their mass. But a new study suggests an entirely different possibility: mass might come from the geometry of hidden extra dimensions, ...
