Major upgrade works may allow the LHC to uncover signs of new physics.
The behaviour of sub-atomic particles in the LHC seems to disagree with the Standard Model.
The finding could also open the door to the discovery of new particles.
The proposed Future Circular Collider could answer questions about the nature of the universe – and have practical benefits along the way.
The LHC is back in business for the year, but getting it ready to collect data isn’t always a straightforward process. You can’t just unplug it and plug it in again.
The US, Europe and China are all planning particle colliders that would study the Higgs boson.
During a walk in the Scottish Highlands, one of the greats of particle physics had the idea of a lifetime
Physicists uncovered a new experiment hidden in old data from the Large Hadron Collider. Using this innovative approach, the team has unlocked an entirely new way to study quantum physics.
It seems there isn’t a sci-fi part if the universe in which everything is made of antimatter.
A new particle accelerator has just begun operation. It is the most powerful accelerator of its kind on Earth and will allow physicists to study some of the rarest matter in the universe.
Recent discoveries have led to an alphabet soup of particles.
A decadelong experiment produced the most accurate measurement yet of the mass of W bosons. These particles are responsible for the weak force, and the result is more evidence for undiscovered physics.
Physicists know a lot about the most fundamental properties of the universe, but they certainly don’t know everything. 2021 was a big year for physics – what was learned and what’s coming next?
Particle physicists might be on the brink of a major breakthrough.
Record precision measurements at Cern may help explain why the universe has more matter than antimatter.
A transcript of episode 9 of The Conversation Weekly podcast, including an update on the situation for Rohingya refugees in Myanmar living in camps in Bangladesh.
Plus why the situation for Rohingya Muslims living in Bangladesh has gone from bad to worse. Listen to episode 9 of The Conversation Weekly podcast.
A long-sought crack in the Standard Model of particle physics may have been spotted.
If the finding really is the result of new fundamental particles then it will finally be the breakthrough that physicists have been yearning for for decades.
