Physicists want the next Large Hadron Collider to be climate-friendly
2 September 2022
Particle colliders use a huge amount of energy, so physicists are evaluating proposed successors to the Large Hadron Collider to optimise efficiency and reduce their climate impact
Strange new Higgs particles could explain shocking W boson result
2 May 2022
Ideas from beyond the standard model of particle physics, including technicolor and glueball Higgs particles, could explain the recent shock finding that the W boson is heavier than we thought
Physicists have a massive problem as Higgs boson refuses to misbehave
7 August 2020
Physicists at CERN hope seeing the Higgs boson do something unexpected could reveal why different particles vary in mass, but so far it is behaving exactly as predicted
The LHC has found the Higgs works perfectly - which is a problem
7 June 2018
The Higgs boson has been seen acting just as the standard model of physics predicts – which leaves us without clues to dark matter and other mysteries
The universe may end in a collision with a bubble of nothingness
19 March 2018
The most precise calculation of the lifetime of our universe finds that a bubble of vacuum energy made by the Higgs boson could envelop us all in 10139 years
