Today marks a decade since the landmark Higgs boson discovery was announced. Durham University’s Dr Martin Bauer and Dr Stephen Jones look at what this has meant for particle physics. Ten years ago, ...

Scientists have made a satisfying and intriguing physics discovery some 16 years after it was first predicted to be a possibility: a quasiparticle (a group of particles behaving as one) that only has ...

We obviously can’t put the universe on a giant set of scales, but scientists have found astonishingly clever ways to […] ...

Neutrinos are tiny particles that barely interact with anything. Trillions of them pass through your body every second, yet you’ll never notice. They have no electric charge and barely any mass. Still ...

Sifting through mountains of experimental data, they have now pieced together a partial sketch of the evasive boson’s traits and behaviour. But, some of them admit to be puzzled. The better they ...

Located in China, Juno is a 17-country collaboration that will try to detect neutrinos and antineutrinos to learn more about their mass.

Neutrinos are very common fundamental particles included in the Standard Model of particle physics. Measuring their ...

George Smoot , who shared the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2006 for his studies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), died on 18 September at the age of 80. Smoot’s work on the blackbody form and ...
