One of the biggest open questions in particle physics today is how the Higgs boson interacts with itself. This "self-coupling ...

Javier Duarte kicked off his scientific career by witnessing the biggest particle physics event in decades. On July 4, 2012, scientists at the laboratory CERN near Geneva announced the discovery of ...

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. For particle physicists, this was ...

Ten years after the discovery of the Higgs boson, the ATLAS experiment at CERN probes its kinematic properties with a significantly larger dataset from 2015–2018 and provides further insights on its ...

Ten years ago scientists announced one of the most momentous discoveries in physics: the Higgs boson. The particle, predicted 48 years earlier, was the missing piece in the Standard Model of particle ...

On July 4, 2012, scientists at CERN confirmed the observation of the Higgs boson, an elementary particle first proposed in the 1960s. The boson’s discovery was a momentous occasion, as it meant ...

Scientists know the Higgs boson interacts with extremely massive particles. Now, they’re starting to study how it interacts with lighter particles as well. Immediately after the Big Bang, every ...

The Higgs-like boson that was unveiled this week at Europe's CERN physics lab is one of the heaviest subatomic particles ever detected, but it also has a lighter side. Like light beer, for example.

Higgs-boson pairs could help scientists understand the stability of our universe. The trick is finding them. In 2012, scientists on the CMS and ATLAS experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider ...

There was a bump in the middle of the night. On June 14, 2012, Johns Hopkins physics and astronomy professor Andrei Gritsan analyzed data in a small meeting room at the CERN in Switzerland. He worked ...
