The Latest Breaking News from CERN

The Matter of Everything tells the history of physics through experiments. Any book about the history of science for a general audience will, of necessity, be something of a distortion. The question is whether the distortion is useful: does it offer a new perspective on the history of physics? While…

Ariel Anderssen, who saw the internet 'explode' with her pictures, grew up believing sex before marriage was forbidden

An illuminating guide to the man and the science behind the Higgs boson – and how its discovery ‘ruined’ his life

World’s largest collider, which revealed Higgs boson particle, has started a third round of experiments after upgrades.

The elusive particle may show physicists a world beyond the Standard Model.

The physics lab that’s home to the world’s largest atom smasher has announced the observation of three new “exotic particles” that could provide clues to the force that binds subatomic particles together

The Large Hadron Collider is back online, and conspiracy theorists are worried it will invite all sorts of interdimensional evils into our world.

Ten years ago, the discovery of the Higgs Boson particle helped make sense of our universe. But in doing so, it unlocked a whole host of new questions.

Ten years after it helped reveal the existence of the particle known as the Higgs boson, the Large Hadron Collider is about to start smashing protons into one another at unprecedented energy levels in its quest to understand how the universe works.

But progress made since 2012 to determine its properties have allowed physicists to make big steps forward in our understanding of the universe.

In the past decade, measurements of the properties of the Higgs boson have confirmed the predictions of the standard model of particle physics. But it has also raised questions about the limitations of this model, such as whether there’s a more fundamental theory of nature.
