Precise measurements of the Higgs self-coupling and its effects on the Higgs potential will play a key role in testing the ...

Twisted bilayers of two-dimensional materials exhibit energy bands with trivial and non-trivial topology, where Coulomb ...

Baylor University physicists Jay R. Dittmann, Ph.D., Kenichi Hatakeyama, Ph.D., Andrew Brinkerhoff, Ph.D. and Jonathan Wilson ...

On the other hand, boson stars can do all sorts of things that could make them detectable, like mess with nuclear fusion in stellar cores or blow up on their own in an event known as a bosenova.

How is matter different from mass? These and other questions about the deepest levels of physics, answered inside.

I believe it was always a bit of an embarrassment to Higgs that this symmetry-breaking mechanism was sometimes shortened to the “Higgs mechanism.” He was always quick to point out everyone ...

The existence of the Higgs boson was theorized in the mid-1960s as a consequence of a symmetry-breaking mechanism suggested by Peter Higgs, François Englert, and Robert Brout, during the summer ...

Peter Higgs, the shy, somewhat reclusive physicist who won a Nobel Prize for his theoretical work on how the Higgs boson gives elementary particles their mass, has died at the age of 94.

The Higgs Boson Particle Turns 10 Today. Here’s How It Changed Physics A decade of observations and analysis provides our best understanding of the so-called "God particle".
