The masses of fundamental particles such as the Z and W bosons could have arisen from the twisted geometry of hidden dimensions, a new theoretical paper has demonstrated. The work has outlined a way ...

Physicists are quietly testing an audacious idea: that the mass of everything around us might not come from an invisible ...

The most direct probe of λ3 comes from Higgs-boson pair production (HH). HH production happens most often by the fusion of ...

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

On April 8, 2024, British theoretical physicist Peter Ware Higgs passed away at the age of 94. It was almost 12 years ago, on July 4, 2012, in a fairly inauspicious lecture hall located in Geneva, ...

The universe is permeated by a field known as the Higgs field, which gives everything its mass. But the Higgs field isn’t entirely stable, and if it were to “bubble,” it would change reality to such a ...

There are probably very few people on this globe who at some point in time haven’t heard the term ‘Higgs Boson’ zip past, along with the term ‘God Particle’. As during the 2010s the scientists at CERN ...

Eventually, the vacuum of space will decay, and things will fall apart—in a zillion years. Our universe is glued together by quantum fields, like the Higgs, which set much of our physics. Revising ...

Although our universe may seem stable, having existed for a whopping 13.7 billion years, several experiments suggest that it is at risk – walking on the edge of a very dangerous cliff. And it’s all ...

Close, but there is more. Scientists often use the name Higgs to refer to the Higgs particle, also known as the Higgs boson. In the Standard Model of particle physics, particles are divided into ...

A deeply disturbing and controversial line of thinking has emerged within the physics community. It's the idea that we are reaching the absolute limit of what we can understand about the world around ...
