Physicists have determined the mass of the W boson with the highest precision yet by analysing more than a billion proton ...

Particle physics dives into the very depths of the universe – the particles that make up atoms. Over the past century, we ...

To learn about this, researchers are going to be looking for Higgs boson interactions with second generation matter particles, the muon and the charm quark, and also looking for extra Higgs-like ...

"During the early universe, when it was first beginning, it was so hot that everything we know of today, the atoms, the electrons, the protons that we're made of could not exist," McDonald said. "So ...

Physicists know that their elegant theoretical description of forces and particles – the Standard Model – must be incomplete, ...

Scientists at the world's biggest atom smasher hailed the discovery of "the missing cornerstone of physics" Wednesday, cheering the apparent end of a decades-long quest for a new subatomic particle ...
