Sebastian Mizera just joined the physics department as an assistant professor, researching quantum field theory.

These are the event displays of Large Hadron Collider physicists’ dreams. Our current understanding of particle physics, known as the Standard Model, has been tremendously successful. Over the past 40 ...

Particle accelerators are often framed as exotic machines built only to chase obscure particles, but they are really precision tools that use electric fields and magnets to steer tiny beams of matter ...

‘What we’ve put together is almost a new machine.’ ‘What we’ve put together is almost a new machine.’ The Large Hadron Collider is reborn — on Easter weekend, of course. After shutting it down for two ...

In 2016, Earth’s South Pole was struck by a ghostly particle from some unknown corner of the universe. This antineutrino — the neutrino’s antimatter twin — collided with an electron at nearly the ...

Physicists announced today (March 14) that a particle discovered at the world's largest atom smasher last year is a Higgs boson, a long-sought particle thought to explain how other particles get their ...

On a sunny spring day one of us (Dixon) entered the London Underground at the Mile End station on his way to Heath­row Airport. Eyeing a stranger, one of more than three million daily passengers on ...
