Higgs Factory: Why CERN wants to build a giant particle smasher

September 29, 2024 1:41 pm

Scientists want to build a 90km Future Circular Collider to study the Higgs boson particle. At an estimated cost of $17 billion, is it worth it?

Physicist Peter Higgs passes away: What is the 'God particle', which he theorised in 1960s?

April 11, 2024 11:21 am

The 'God particle' or Higgs boson is the particle that is supposed to account for the mass of every other fundamental particle. What does that mean? Here is a look.

Nobel laureate Peter Higgs, who proposed existence of 'god particle', dies at 94

April 10, 2024 7:48 am

Peter Higgs’ theory related to how subatomic particles that are the building blocks of matter get their mass.

Rare Higgs boson decay observed in Large Hadron Collider experiments

June 06, 2023 9:18 am

Scientists at CERN have discovered evidence of the Higgs boson decaying into a Z boson and a photon, providing indirect evidence of particles beyond those predicted by the Standard Model, which could one day even change our understanding of how everything in the universe works.

Steven Weinberg, groundbreaking Nobelist in physics, dies at 88
