If researchers can figure those out, the new information may help build a more complete standard model of particle physics, as well as expand our knowledge of the inner workings of planets ...

While bittersweet and initially frustrating, the fight's conclusion falls right in line with Percy's arc enough to make his journey come full circle - proving why that huge loss was actually ...

A type of binary-system known as a microquasar has been found to be firing out γ-rays at high energy-levels, which may make it a candidate to be a long-theorized natural particle-accelerator ...

Helen Edwards was a particle physicist who led the design and construction of the Tevatron, a machine built to probe deeper into the atom than anyone had gone before.

Even the idea of the Higgs boson was so important that it was called the “God Particle” by the Nobel Prize-winner Leon Lederman, who had wanted to call it the “Goddamn particle” on account of its ...

The nickname “God particle” comes from the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Leon Lederman's book in 1993 “The Goddamn Particle: If the Universe Is the Answer, What Is the Question?” ...

written with Dick Teresi. In their book, Lederman and Teresi claim the nickname originated because the publisher wouldn’t allow them to call it ‘the Goddamn Particle’ – a name that reflected the ...

When it comes to building particle accelerators the credo has always been “bigger, badder, better”. While the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) with its 27 km circumference and €7.5 billion budget ...
