As a physicist working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern, one of the most frequent questions I am asked is “When are you going to find something?”. Resisting the temptation to sarcastically ...

Recent discoveries in cosmology have left scientists scratching their heads, as they challenge our fundamental understanding ...

Particle physics continues to probe the most fundamental constituents of matter while dark matter research seeks to illuminate the unseen mass that permeates our Universe. Recent efforts have ...

After a decade-long analysis, a collaboration of physicists has made the most precise measurement of the mass of a key particle – and it may unravel physics as we know it. The new measurement differs ...

Ten years ago, scientists announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, which helps explain why elementary particles (the smallest building blocks of nature) have mass. When you purchase through links ...

An extremely rare particle measurement from the world's largest atom smasher could cast doubt on a popular theory about the fundamental building blocks of the universe, including dark matter.

At the turn of the century, it sounded as if string theory could give us big answers about the universe. Well… has it?

The briefing book of the 2026 update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics was published in October. Paris Sphicas ...
