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

Eric Mack has been a CNET contributor since 2011. Eric and his family live 100% energy and water independent on his off-grid compound in the New Mexico desert. Eric uses his passion for writing about ...

In their search for more flavors of Higgs bosons, a team of researchers at CERN stumbled across what could be evidence of the smallest matter-antimatter particle ever. The hypoethical particle, known ...

Image: Phase diagram showing the destruction of superconductivity: 1) The yellow region represents the ordered phase in which all the electron pairs share the same phase (all arrows pointing up), 2) ...

Half a century ago, six physicists proposed the idea of a new subatomic particle whose existence would help explain the masses of elementary particles. Ever since then, the hunt has been on to find it ...

In fact, the first tantalizing evidence is already in and we take a look. The discovery of the Higgs boson ten years ago in the Large Hadron Collider was the culmination of decades of work and the ...

The Higgs boson has existed since the earliest moments of our universe. Its directionless field permeates all of space and entices transient particles to slow down and burgeon with mass. Without the ...

A new twist on a classic experiment could show that pairs of electrons behave as bosons, despite the fact that single electrons are fermions. Peter Samuelsson and Markus Büttiker of the University of ...

All atoms are either fermions or bosons depending on whether they possess half-integer or integer spin, and the difference between the two becomes clear when they are cooled to near absolute zero.

Physicists at the Large Hadron Collider, a particle accelerator near Geneva, Switzerland, report that they're hot on the trail of an elusive elementary particle known as the Higgs boson. It's only a ...

Two known black holes are spinning too quickly to have ever been impacted by the hypothetical particle known as ultralight bosons, proving that, between two certain masses, the particles don’t exist, ...

The Heisenberg uncertainty principle places severe constraints on the subatomic world. To illustrate, for particles called bosons, the principle dictates that bosons either condense to form a ...
