His work paved the way for the discovery of the Higgs boson, which explained how particles acquire mass, solving one of the ...

In the case of the most recalcitrant by-product of the nuclear industry, physics has never been the bottleneck. It has been ...

Welcome to this Physics World Particle & Nuclear Briefing bringing you the best of our recent coverage in these two areas. In this issue, we talk to Mark Thomson, who is set to take over running the ...

A team of researchers has leveraged a supercomputer at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory to ...

Mark Thomson has taken the reins at CERN just as particle physics confronts some of its deepest unknowns – and faces hard choices about what comes next ...

Scientists studying particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) usually capture what happens when ...

The two solid lines display the proton dripline (brown) and the neutron dripline (blue) calculated using the microscopic-macroscopic mass model FRDM12. Ten display options for nuclear properties are ...

Researchers have developed a novel high-energy particle detection instrumentation approach that leverages the power of quantum sensors -- devices capable of precisely detecting single particles. To ...

Particle and high energy physics seeks to understand the fundamental constituents of matter and the interactions that govern them across the smallest distance scales and highest energies. The Standard ...
