First-Ever Evidence of Higgs Boson Decay Opens New Doors for Particle Physics
For the first time, scientists at the Large Hadron Collider have unambiguously detected Higgs bosons decaying into a matter-antimatter pair of bottom quarks.
Einstein's Quest to 'Know God's Thoughts' Could Take Millennia
Unifying all the forces and particles would require a particle accelerator far more powerful than humans have ever built.
