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 ancient dream of turning lead into gold is now a reality – but it’s not quite what the alchemists might have hoped for.
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.
Canada’s partnership in the world’s largest radio telescope, located in South Africa and Australia, creates new opportunities for research, but the benefits go beyond astronomy.
The Matter of Everything is a partial account of the history of physics, which leaves out a lot, including the story of some key women scientists.
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?
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.
The compact accelerators are 100 times smaller than traditional ones, and could easily fit inside hospitals and laboratories.
From the subatomic to the cosmic, don’t think for a second that we’re at the end of scientific history.
The LHCb experiment at CERN has discovered three new ‘pentaquark’ particles being created in high energy particle collisions at the Large Hadron Collider.
What shape is an electron? The answer, believe it or not, has implications for our understanding of the entire universe, and could reveal whether there are mysterious particles still to be discovered.
