Naturally, there was still work to do: search for yet another elusive piece of the particle physics puzzle, the Higgs boson — sometimes called the “God Particle.” It was finally detected in ...

Ireland is set to apply for associate membership status of the major European scientific body today – but why has it taken so long?

Higgs as formulated in the Gell-Mann-Levy (GL) linear sigma model may be a composite object as it turned out in QCD. We shall discuss a composite Higgs boson, techni-dilaton, in the walking/conformal ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light and is thus impossible to detect using conventional techniques employed in particle physics. In recent years ...

“I wanted to let other parents know what was going on. I posted it under my maiden name and I didn’t mention my son or his school. That was all. I’m not sure I even checked to see what the ...

A three-vector-boson event recorded by ATLAS, with one W boson decaying to an electron and a neutrino, one W boson decaying to a muon and a neutrino, and a Z boson decaying to two muons. Muons are ...

Known as the 'God of Chaos' asteroid, its scientific name is after the Egyptian god of chaos, Apophis. And it is much, much bigger than the newer discovery. Apophis was first spotted back in 2004 ...

One of the tiniest building blocks of the universe has a weigh-in problem, and Ashutosh Kotwal is determined to get to the bottom of it. For nearly 30 years, the Duke physicist has led a worldwide ...
