Scientists analyzing data from heavy ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)—the world's most powerful particle ...

In their search for more flavors of Higgs bosons, a team of researchers at CERN stumbled across what could be evidence of the smallest matter-antimatter particle ever. The hypoethical particle, known ...

Researchers from the University of Rochester have helped measure the elusive top quark with unparalleled precision, and the surprising results affect everything from the Higgs boson, nicknamed the ...

Since its inception in 2008, the LHC (large hadron collider) at CERN has been a key player in pushing the boundaries of particle physics research. Consisting of four main experiments, the circular ...
