In preparing for a talk on the relationship between House Speakers and the Rules Committee (subtitled, “The Speaker’s Committee?”), I took the occasion to reread two Congressional Research Service ...

CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is designed to probe the fringes of known physics, and now the facility has found particles not behaving as predicted. While it’s still early days, the discovery ...

Ten years after discovering the Higgs boson, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is preparing to start colliding protons at astonishing levels to unravel more mysteries of the universe. The world's ...

Although LEGO Ideas sets are far and away some of the coolest builds available to brick heads, some sets fans submit never make it to retail stores. It’s a tragedy, frankly, especially in the case of ...

After a decade-long analysis, a collaboration of physicists has made the most precise measurement of the mass of a key particle – and it may unravel physics as we know it. The new measurement differs ...

Deep beneath the border of France and Switzerland is the most massive, most ambitious experiment ever undertaken by humanity. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator that uses a ...

The W boson is heftier than anyone expected. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. An ultraprecise measurement of the mass of a ...

In 2010, when scientists were preparing to smash the first particles together within the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), sections of the media fantasized that the EU-wide experiment might create a black ...

Gianluca Sarri receives funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and the Science and Technology Facility Council (STFC). In 2010, when scientists were preparing to ...

The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has approved the beginning stages of the next big particle accelerator. These plans serve as one followup project to the Large Hadron Collider.

From its resting place outside Chicago, Illinois, a long-defunct experiment is threatening to throw the field of elementary particles off balance. Physicists have toiled for ten years to squeeze a ...

The W boson, one of the tiniest, most elementary particles in the known universe is causing a big ruckus in the field of particle physics. According to the Standard Model, W bosons (together with ...
