For a few years, one of particle physics’ most unsettling numbers seemed to be pointing somewhere strange. The trouble ...
Researchers at IPhT (CEA, CNRS) and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona have shown that gravity—and with it, ...
The mind-bending experiments taking place in particle accelerators around the world, including the Large Hadron Collider. Quarks, munons, bosons, and dark matter galore. By Andrew Paul By Andrew Paul ...
Two independent lines of evidence from the world’s most powerful particle experiments are converging on the same uncomfortable conclusion: something is producing signals that the Standard Model of ...
The muon collider was once dismissed as impossible, but is now gaining steam as the successor to the Large Hadron Collider.

On July 4, 2012, scientists at CERN confirmed the observation of the Higgs boson, an elementary particle first proposed in the 1960s. The boson’s discovery was a momentous occasion, as it meant ...
As a physicist working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern, one of the most frequent questions I am asked is “When are you going to find something?”. Resisting the temptation to sarcastically ...
Energetic particles that arise when cosmic rays hit Earth’s atmosphere could help assess hidden damage to buildings in Ukraine after the war. Primordial black holes may be exploding throughout the ...
