CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is designed to probe the fringes of known physics, and now the facility has found particles not behaving as predicted. While it’s still early days, the discovery ...

A once-promising hint of new physics from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest particle accelerator, has melted away, quashing one of physicists’ best hopes for a major discovery. The ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Although CERN’s Large Hadron Collider has made a lasting impact on particle physics, it hasn’t yet open up a whole new frontier of particle physics ...

Sam Baron receives funding from Australian Research Council. What does that mean? And why are they making such a big deal of it, while at the same time stopping short of claiming a new discovery? The ...

Scientists at CERN have observed a rare phenomenon where a single top quark formed alongside W and Z bosons for the first ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. There were a huge variety of potential new physics signatures that ...

It’s often said in science that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Recent measurements of the mass of the elementary particle known as the W boson provide a useful case study as to ...

The Standard Model of Particle Physics has withstood rigorous test after test over many decades, and the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 provided the last observational piece of the puzzle. But ...
