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 ...

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 ...

Durham physicist Professor Valery Khoze has been elected to the Academia Europaea, one of Europe’s most prestigious academic ...

Dr Victoria Martin is a Reader in particle physics at the University of Edinburgh. She co-leads the University of Edinburgh team on the Atlas experiment, which co-discovered the Higgs boson in July ...

A scientist from Tokyo Metropolitan University has proposed using safety monitoring at synchrotron facilities to study the properties ...

Bibi Boyce speaks to Dr Sarah Williams about her work at CERN, the largest particle physics laboratory in the world ...

One of the biggest open questions in particle physics today is how the Higgs boson interacts with itself. This "self-coupling" could help explain the evolution of the early universe and the mechanism ...

Members of the University of Liverpool’s Particle Physics Research Frontier and accelerator scientists associated with the Cockcroft Institute share in the three million dollar award of the 2026 ...

Scientists have observed particles forming from the vacuum, revealing how matter may emerge from seemingly empty space.

For a few years, one of particle physics’ most unsettling numbers seemed to be pointing somewhere strange. The trouble centered on the W boson, a heavy particle that carries the weak force, one of ...
