This is what the creation of a Higgs Boson looks like to the Large Hadron Collider. (Credit: CERN) The Higgs boson is, if ...

The Higgs boson has been found! The Higgs boson has not been found! What the heck is the Higgs boson? Has it really been found? And why should we care? The Higgs boson is a key particle in the ...

The masses of fundamental particles such as the Z and W bosons could have arisen from the twisted geometry of hidden dimensions, a new theoretical paper has demonstrated. The work has outlined a way ...

Although our universe may seem stable, having existed for a whopping 13.7 billion years, several experiments suggest that it is at risk – walking on the edge of a very dangerous cliff. And it’s all ...

There are probably very few people on this globe who at some point in time haven’t heard the term ‘Higgs Boson’ zip past, along with the term ‘God Particle’. As during the 2010s the scientists at CERN ...

David Werdegar asks whether the Higgs field is like the luminiferous ether (Letters, 30 July). The answer is no. According to quantum field theory, fields, like the Higgs field and the electromagnetic ...

Close, but there is more. Scientists often use the name Higgs to refer to the Higgs particle, also known as the Higgs boson. In the Standard Model of particle physics, particles are divided into ...

One of the exciting aspects of some fields of physics is that they involve calculating the expected time until the Universe ends or experiences fundamental shifts that would render most if not all of ...
