Something odd is happening deep inside the data streams from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. A set of “forbidden” patterns in how unstable particles decay, combined with rare Higgs events and a ...

Scientists may have observed the Higgs boson doing a new trick: creating pairs of muons. When the Higgs boson was discovered at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012, it was the final piece of ...

A few days ago Nextbigfuture interviewed Ryan Weed of Positron Dynamics and in 2015there was a youtube video which Ryan Weed had explained their antimatter fusion propulsion effort. Ryan had two later ...

Physicists in Japan say they have a solution to a problem that has puzzled particle physicists for nearly two decades – the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. Measurements made over several years ...

In the world of particle physics, you are never alone — quite literally. Every moment there is an invisible rainstorm of subatomic particles falling down on us from space. Unlike the kind of matter we ...
