A human tightrope walker is able to walk the rope only in one dimension, forward or backward. But an ant can access an ...

The Higgs boson has been found. Gravitational waves have also been directly captured. The textbooks from my student days are ...

Following the possible recent detection of a dark matter particle, researchers have already come up with a veritable cornucopia of possible models for what sort of particle it might have been ...

One theory points to a long-awaited supersymmetric particle called a ‘higgsino.’ But that idea has some issues.

As the Singapore High Court explained in 2014, once a public servant is shown to have received a gift from someone dealing ...

Machine learning sifted through years of LHC collisions, finding no tiny black holes while tightening limits on exotic physics.

In 2012 the Higgs boson — often called the "God Particle" — was discovered. The Higgs gives mass to fundamental particles; in ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) accelerator in the tunnel at CERN. ATLAS finds strong evidence that Z bosons from Higgs decays ...

The European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, will dismantle the Large Hadron Collider, which helped discover the so-called God Particle, in order to build a more powerful particle ...

Physicists have detected strong evidence that heavy, fleeting Z bosons can become quantum entangled during Higgs boson decays at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. The result shows that Einstein’s “spooky ...

Rachel Feltman: Happy Monday, listeners! For Scientific American’s Science Quickly, I’m Rachel Feltman. You’re listening to our weekly science news roundup. Let’s kick things off with some tech news.

Misha Glenny and guests discuss the huge machines that smash together particles at almost the speed of light, going in search of the building blocks of our universe. Show more Misha Glenny and guests ...
