Instant Expert: Particle physics: Revealing the mysteries of matter Saturday 13 April, 10am - 5pm | Conway Hall, 25 Red Lion Square, London, WC1R 4RL The Large Hadron Collider began smashing atoms together in 2009 and continues to throw up surprising insights into the fundamental building blocks of the universe. It’s via evidence from particle accelerators such at the LHC and its predecessors that we derived our best understanding of the nature of matter: the Standard Model of particle...

“It is no good to try to stop knowledge from going forward. Ignorance is never better than knowledge.” -Enrico Fermi

As part of their quest to understand the building blocks of matter, physicists search for evidence of new particles that could confirm the existence of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). Many of these beyond-SM theories postulate the need for additional partner particles to the Higgs boson. These partners would behave similarly to the SM Higgs boson, for example in terms of their “spin”, but would have a different mass. To search for Higgs partner particles, scientists at the CMS collab...

The Large Hadron Collider has come up dry since the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012. Here’s what researchers are trying to do about it.

An international team of researchers has observed for the first time a novel form of decay of the Higgs boson, shedding new light on the mysteries of the Universe and suggesting...

Tulane University is a comprehensive research university in New Orleans, Louisiana. Tulanians see challenges as opportunities, and strive to improve the lives of others in our own community and around the globe.

The Africana Studies Program introduces to campus an ongoing series, Black Studies Book Club. Each semester, BSBC brings a scholar whose recent publication has shifted the conversation in Africana Studies to campus to give a public lecture and discuss their recent work (free and open to everyone). Our sixth Black Studies Book Club Scholar is Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, who will

A new paper theorizes that in rare cases, gravitational waves could propagate across the universe like a laser.

CERN plans to build a new underground atom-smasher capable of revealing the secrets of the Higgs boson and, ultimately, our Universe.
