The discovery of the Higgs boson inspired young people around the world to pursue a career in science and technology.

Researchers put quantum electrodynamics to the test, pushing the boundaries of the Standard Model of physics.

A strange gap between theoretical predictions and experimental results in a major neutrino research project could be a sign of the elusive sterile neutrino – a particle so quiet, it can only be detected by the silence it leaves in its wake.

"Indeed some of the users were advised by their older colleagues to “abandon all hope, ye who enter here!” I fear that I bear the responsibility for this fiasco." -Robert R. Wilson

The particle collider at CERN will soon restart. “There could be a revolution coming,” scientists say.

Sometimes the discovery of new physics demands insane levels of energy. Big machines. Fancy equipment. Countless hours of sifting through reams of data.

FRIB research could help answer looming questions about the ghost-like neutrino particle, including its mass and whether it is its own antiparticle

Researchers have discovered a new particle that is a magnetic relative of the Higgs boson.

Unlike its famous namesake, the new Higgs particle was discovered in a simple, room-temperature experiment.
