The Higgs boson has been found! The Higgs boson has not been found! What the heck is the Higgs boson? Has it really been found? And why should we care? The Higgs boson is a key particle in the ...

Although our universe may seem stable, having existed for a whopping 13.7 billion years, several experiments suggest that it is at risk—walking on the edge of a very dangerous cliff. And it's all down ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists worried Higgs pairs would be too rare for LHC experiments to find. But by using machine learning, they now are getting tantalizingly close. In 2011, physicist Javier Duarte and his friends ...

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 ...

Peter Higgs lived a singular life. He developed a physics theory that stood a chance of radically advancing our understanding of the universe, and lived to see generations of experimentalists chase ...

Gauge-Higgs Unification Models are an innovative class of theories wherein the Higgs boson is reinterpreted as a manifestation of extra-dimensional components of gauge fields. This framework melds the ...
