In the ongoing quest to unravel the universe's deepest mysteries, scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is in the business of discovering new subatomic particles—and business is good. The team at CERN recently announced ...

His work paved the way for the discovery of the Higgs boson, which explained how particles acquire mass, solving one of the ...

Over a century ago, Ernest Rutherford discovered the proton by splitting the atom in a laboratory in Manchester. Today, researchers based in Manchester have discovered a new particle that Rutherford ...

A University of Melbourne researcher has placed the strongest constraints yet on certain rare decays of subatomic particles, ...

Muons are one of the key subatomic particles for discovering new physics, but tracking them after particle collisions can be difficult and prone to error. A new study ...

Physicists may have just cracked open a hidden side of the quantum world. For decades, every known particle was thought to belong to one of two categories — bosons or fermions — but researchers have ...

The scientific world has long known that atoms form the basic building blocks of matter, but CERN is interested in peering beyond the atom into the mesonic and baryonic soup that gives rise to matter ...
