And it’s all down to the instability of a single fundamental particle: the Higgs boson. In new research by me and my colleagues, just accepted for publication in Physical Letters B, we show that some ...

The Higgs boson is special kind of particle that doesn’t really appear in everyday life. Instead, it subtly interacts with many other particles and is responsible for giving them mass. Additionally, ...

Kennesaw State University researchers Nikolaos Kidonakis and Marco Guzzi have received their second joint grant from the ...

Elina Berglund has fought to create the first FDA-cleared birth control app as attacks on reproductive rights ramp up across ...

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

"The Higgs boson was the last missing fundamental particle of the Standard Model. Its discovery was a turning point for physics for two reasons. Firstly, it demonstrates the mechanism of how ...

The physicist gained global recognition in 2012, when he was awarded the Nobel prize, almost 50 years after Higgs predicted the existence of a new particle, which came to be known as the Higgs ...

In the same way, the Higgs field creates a restoring effect on other elementary fields, changing their vibrations. This vibration is what gives the particle its mass. According to quantum field ...

“The CERN experiments have discovered a new particle that, from initial tests, has mass and other properties consistent with the elusive Higgs boson. Our exhibition at the Royal Society next week will ...

But what is the elusive subatomic particle – which has also been called the “God particle” – and what exactly did he have to say about it? – What did Prof Higgs win the Nobel Prize for?
