The Large Hadron Collider hasn’t seen any new particles since the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012. Here’s what researchers are trying to do about it. In 1977, Ray and Charles Eames released a ...

Particle physics might seem too complex for young children, but educators are finding enthusiasm and understanding even among the Sesame Street set. Jason Heeris, a physicist and signal-processing ...

As the name suggests, particle accelerators involve accelerating subatomic particles to incredibly high speeds and smashing ...

Javier Duarte kicked off his scientific career by witnessing the biggest particle physics event in decades. On July 4, 2012, scientists at the laboratory CERN near Geneva announced the discovery of ...

The hunt for new physics is back on. The world’s most powerful machine for smashing high-energy particles together, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), has fired up after a shutdown of more than three ...

Physicists are eyeing charged gravitinos—ultra-heavy, stable particles from supergravity theory—as possible Dark Matter ...

The concept of symmetry is rooted in daily life, apparent in the butterflies that migrate each spring, the buildings where we work and the music we play. But how did symmetry become so fundamental to ...

Scientists at CERN, the home of the Large Hadron Collider, have just observed an astoundingly rare phenomenon at the ...
