This time, physicists, including core UCLA researchers, have accurately measured the mass of the W boson — more precisely ...

A column in The New York Times uses the example of 'snow' to explain the mechanism by which the Higgs field gives mass to particles, explaining that 'the Higgs field is like a snowy field.

Since its 2012 detection, the Higgs boson has fascinated researchers for its unique role in separating forces of nature. Find ...

The Higgs boson is responsible for the mass and interactions of all the particles we know of. That's because particle masses are a consequence of elementary particles interacting with a field ...

Physicists on the CMS experiment announce the most elaborate mass measurement of a particle that is notoriously difficult to study and has captivated the physics community for decades.

It plays a fundamental role in the standard model of particle physics, as it is responsible for the mass of other particles. This particle is associated with the Higgs field, an energy field that ...

Geared for discovery more so than delicacy, the LHC is defying expectations by rivalling lepton colliders for precision.
