Deep beneath the Swiss-French border, the Large Hadron Collider unleashes staggering amounts of energy and radiation—enough to fry most electronics. Enter a team of Columbia engineers, who built ultra ...

The discovery of the Higgs boson hasn’t led to an explosion of new physics as many predicted. Now, some scientists think that ...

New study reveals rare Higgs boson decays that could help bridge the gap between the known and the unknown in particle physics.

The ATLAS collaboration finds evidence of Higgs-boson decays to muons and improves sensitivity to Higgs-boson decays to a Z boson and a photon.

“It was all very theoretical until the Higgs boson was discovered,” says Matthew D. Schwartz, a professor of physics at Harvard University. Before then, no one knew the mass of the particle.

Scientists may have found a solution to one of the most profound questions in cosmology: What drove the Universe’s rapid expansion immediately after the Big Bang? “According to what we call ‘standard’ ...

Large Hadron Collider has ended W boson fever. "We have to search for new physics elsewhere," one researcher says.

A central aim of the ATLAS Higgs physics program is to measure, with increasing precision, the strength of interactions of the Higgs boson with elementary fermions and bosons.

The elusive Higgs particle has the power to undo physics as we know it. The fact that it hasn't could have big implications about the nature of the universe.

It all comes down to two objects: primordial black holes and the Higgs boson particle. The 2012 discovery of the Higgs boson is widely considered one of the great triumphs of modern physics.
