While the mainstream physics community celebrated the July 4, 2012 announcement that researchers at the Large Hadron Collider had found evidence for the Higgs boson, physicist Moffat not only doubts ...

The Higgs Boson, also called the "God Particle," is like the secret glue holding the universe together! Scientists first theorized it decades ago, but it wasn’t actually discovered until 2012 at the ...

European researchers are developing quantum computers using light and glass, in a collaboration that promises breakthroughs in computing power, battery technology and scientific discovery. Giulia ...

With his trademark wit and lucidity, Carroll (From Eternity to Here) delivers the story of the search for the elusive Higgs boson—the Holy Grail of particle physics—which was finally discovered ...

Supernovas can become some of the most powerful particle colliders in the universe — but only if they pass a whole lot of gas before they explode, new research finds. For almost a century, astronomers ...

Physicists from CERN working on Large Hadron Collider, came close to answering why there was more matter in the early Universe than antimatter. It is noted that the discovery made at the collider ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Tycho, one of the best studied supernova remnants, may have briefly served as the most powerful ...

Forget about turtles; for all practical purposes, it’s really particles all the way down. Consider the seemingly simple matter of their size, the very thing that makes them so alien. We’re typically ...

Most people have never heard of vacuum decay, but if it happened it would be the biggest natural disaster in the universe. Sure, an asteroid could destroy a city or wipe out life on Earth. A supernova ...

In an unprecedented breakthrough, scientists have detected a neutrino with the highest energy ever recorded, deep in the Mediterranean Sea. This discovery could provide vital clues to understanding ...
