Higgs-boson pairs could help scientists understand the stability of our universe. The trick is finding them. In 2012, scientists on the CMS and ATLAS experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider ...

Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider weren’t the only ones to discover a Higgs-like particle. When we asked symmetry breaking readers to send us their own evidence of a Higgs boson, they sent a ...

There are probably very few people on this globe who at some point in time haven’t heard the term ‘Higgs Boson’ zip past, along with the term ‘God Particle’. As during the 2010s the scientists at CERN ...

This newly-discovered particle could account for dark matter. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Researchers have discovered a new ...

The future of supersymmetry is in serious doubt. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Supersymmetry is the idea that the fundamental ...

When CERN’s Large Hadron Collider failed to uncover evidence of new “superpartner” particles during its first run, some claimed that the theory that predicts them – known as supersymmetry, or SUSY – ...

This is the fourth article in a series on new experiments at CERN. The discovery of the Higgs boson on July 4th, 2012, at CERN was one of the great achievements in the history of particle physics, the ...

The Higgs boson, the mysterious particle that lends other particles their mass, could have kept our universe from collapsing. And its properties might be a clue that we live in a multiverse of ...

From my archive, on Peter Higgs and his boson. I interviewed Higgs, who has just won the Nobel Prize for his prediction of the subatomic particle known as the Higgs boson, only briefly. It was during ...

To celebrate the publication of the paperback edition of my book A Tear at the Edge of Creation, I want to go back to some of its themes, given that it's been three years and a lot has happened since ...
