A neglected force produced by neutrinos and other particles helps atomic physics measurements align with predictions of the ...

Researchers have, for the first time, described the properties of one-dimensional anyons and outlined how these particles can be observed using existing experimental setups.

Explore the intriguing 'flavour puzzle' in particle physics, uncovering the mysteries behind subatomic particles and their ...

Ten years ago, physicists working at CERN, the international research institute for particle physics near Geneva, announced the discovery of the Higgs boson. This elusive particle, first predicted in ...

As a physicist working on 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 ...

When fundamental particles are heavier or lighter than expected, physicists' understanding of the universe can tip into the unknown. A particle that is just beyond its predicted mass can unravel ...

When the Guardian’s science blog network closes, Life & Physics will have been here for eight years. Physics has come a long way in that time, but there is (as always) more to be done... The particles ...

A Major Upgrade Begins for the World’s Largest Particle Collider A significant project aimed at enhancing the world’s largest particle collider was initiated on Friday, ...

If we want to continue to probe the structure of matter, to understand what the smallest constituents of nature are and how they interact, we have to think big and plan for the long term.

In CERN’s high-temperature superconducting laboratory near Geneva, a wiring machine combines dozens of strands of niobium–tin to create the Rutherford cables needed to generate intense magnetic fields ...
