Since the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, physicists have made considerable progress in exploring its properties. Does ...

Mini Museum sells all manner of cool collectibles, from T. Rex teeth and tiny bits from space shuttles to a section of cable from the Brooklyn Bridge. The IC chip from the CRAY-1 from Mini Museum is ...

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 ...

Particles similar to axions, the leading candidate for dark matter that has long eluded detection, may have already been ...

The Large Hadron Collider is up and running. Details here. Mari Jensen of the UA College of Science gives us the local angle: Now the research begins for the team of University of Arizona physicists ...

This summer, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) took a breath of fresh air. Normally filled with beams of protons, the 27-km ring was reconfigured to enable its first oxygen–oxygen and neon–neon ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: String theory—the idea that particles are not point-like, but instead one-dimensional strings—is a popular theoretical framework that attempts to ...

As the name suggests, particle accelerators involve accelerating subatomic particles to incredibly high speeds and smashing ...

This Is a Big Deal! exclaims Geoff Brumfiel at Nature: "I can't think of another case where the future of an entire field hinges on the success of a single experiment...It could verify current ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC)--the world's largest, most ambitious atom smasher--hardly needs to be oversold. But even before construction ceased on the $10 billion, 17-mile-long, underground ...
