Particle physics has always proceeded in two ways, of which new particles is one. The other is by making very precise measurements that test the predictions of theories and look for deviations from ...

The masses of fundamental particles such as the Z and W bosons could have arisen from the twisted geometry of hidden ...

The theorized unseen structure of spacetime could also explain of the outstanding questions about the accelerating expansion ...

Physicists are exploring whether hidden dimensions and the shape of space could help explain why fundamental particles have ...

After a decade-long analysis, a collaboration of physicists has made the most precise measurement of the mass of a key particle – and it may unravel physics as we know it. The new measurement differs ...

As a physicist working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern, one of the most frequent questions I am asked is “When are you going to find something?” Resisting the temptation to sarcastically ...

CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is designed to probe the fringes of known physics, and now the facility has found particles not behaving as predicted. While it’s still early days, the discovery ...

Magnets of the Tevatron Collider at Fermilab, Illinois. A newly published analysis of data from the Tevatron, which shut down in 2011, shows an unexpectedly high mass for a particle called the W-boson ...

It’s often said in science that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Recent measurements of the mass of the elementary particle known as the W boson provide a useful case study as to ...
