Did Gravity Save the Universe from 'God Particle' Higgs Boson?
The Higgs boson, the so-called 'God particle,' could have destroyed the universe shortly after the Big Bang, but the force of gravity saved the cosmos, scientists say.
Scientists find first evidence of rare Higgs boson decay
Scientists have spotted the first evidence of a rare Higgs boson decay, expanding our understanding of the strange quantum universe.
New simulation charts how the early universe developed within seconds of the Big Bang
A new simulation maps the first few seconds after the Big Bang, focusing on what scientists call the intergalactic medium, or the gas and dust between galaxies.
10 cosmic mysteries the Large Hadron Collider could unravel
What mysteries of the universe could the world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator unlock?
World's most powerful heavy-ion collider to go online this week
The collider cost $730 million and is many decades in the making
A particle accelerator is now colder than space to produce 1 million X-ray pulses a second
At that temperature, the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) X-ray free-electron laser will be able to accelerate electrons close to the speed of light.
Stronger gravity in the early universe may solve a cosmological conundrum
The inflationary epoch that caused our universe to rapidly expand in its earliest moments may be connected to the modern era of dark energy.
