Physicists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have uncovered new hints that certain particle decays may not behave as the ...

In 1930, a young physicist named Carl D. Anderson was tasked by his mentor with measuring the energies of cosmic rays—particles arriving at high speed from outer space. Anderson built an improved ...

The universe may not be perfectly uniform after all, a new series of papers hints. If confirmed, this could upend a nearly ...

In nuclear beta decay an up quark ‘u’ in a proton converts into an up down quark ‘d,’ turning the proton into a neutron and emitting a positron and a neutrino. This work affects interpretation of beta ...

Recent findings from research we have been carrying out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern in Geneva suggest that we might be closing in on signs of undiscovered physics. If confirmed, these ...

Survey shows division: The largest-ever poll of physicists found scant agreement on core theories, including the Standard Model of cosmology. Collider hints anomaly: Rare B meson decays at CERN's LHC ...

Physicists have nailed a fiendishly difficult measurement — the mass of the fundamental particle the W boson. The result, from the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), is in line with ...

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

Scientists at CERN’s ATLAS experiment have uncovered compelling evidence of Higgs bosons decaying into muons, an incredibly rare event that could deepen our understanding of how particles acquire mass ...
