Since the launch of the Large Hadron Collider, there has been ongoing research there into Higgs bosons and a search for traces of physics beyond the existing model of elementary particles. Scientists ...

The currents of the oceans, the roiling surface of the sun, and the clouds of smoke billowing off a forest fire—all are governed by the same laws of physics and give rise to a complex phenomenon known ...

Dark matter interactions may point to a hidden “dark force,” unexpectedly constraining our Universe’s expansion and structural development.

The standard model (SM) of particle physics is the mathematical description of the fundamental constituents and interactions of matter. Its last missing particle, the Higgs boson, was observed in 2012 ...

In many systems, including sedimenting particles and bird flocks, interactions do not derive from a potential and are generally non-reciprocal, meaning that they do not obey the action–reaction ...

In the hunt for new physics beyond the Standard Model, scientists are now looking closely at an unusual class of particle interactions called neutral triple gauge couplings (nTGCs). These interactions ...

Bird flocks, bacterial swarms, and even crowds move according to interaction rules that appear to break one of physics’ most ...

The Nobel-prize-winning Belgian theoretical physicist François Englert, whose work led to the discovery of the Higgs boson, ...

Electrical resistance is easy to notice and hard to pin down. Power lines shed energy as heat, and metals warm up when ...

Secondary particle tracks recorded during a proton collision inside the ATLAS detector, indicating the presence of a single Higgs boson in the event. Since the launch of the Large Hadron Collider, ...
