The European physics laboratory CERN is planning to build a mega collider by 2070. Critics say the plan could lead to its ...

This uniformity has allowed us to observe and describe the same physics over several millennia (astronomers typically look ...

The Higgs field solved a huge question in theoretical particle physics, and the Higgs boson was a tantalising target that experimentalists could hunt for in order to tie theory to reality.

Detected by Boston College researchers, the axial Higgs mode, and materials that contain it, could support quantum sensors to help answer persistent questions in particle physics The previously ...

What is quantum physics? Put simply ... happens when things move very fast – to create what are known as quantum field theories. Three different quantum field theories deal with three of ...

The underlying theoretical construct in particle physics is called the Standard Model and it contains 6 quarks, 6 leptons, 4 gauge bosons, and one scalar boson (the Higgs boson), which interact ...

Two quantum field theories lie at the heart of the standard model of particle physics. The product of many decades of theoretical work, meticulously confirmed by experiment, this model covers the ...
