The Higgs boson appeared again at the world's largest atom smasher — this time, alongside a top quark and an antitop quark, the heaviest known fundamental particles. And this new discovery could help ...

So far, the LHC has been spending its time ramming protons together, leaving Brookhaven's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) the king of the hill when it comes to smashing larger atomic nuclei.

Physicists have long wondered why no elementary particle discovered so far contains more than three of the fundamental building blocks known as quarks. Several recent findings have suggested particles ...

Physicists at accelerators in Japan and the United States have detected a subatomic particle that may be unlike any seen before. Some evidence suggests that the particle contains two pairs of more ...

If you haven’t read the news recently, there is a bit of a problem with the education system in the United States—especially when it comes to fields that fall outside of the humanities. The US is ...
