Renowned Physicist Peter Higgs Passes Away, Leaving Lasting Legacy in Particle Physics
Renowned physicist Peter Higgs, known for his groundbreaking work on the Higgs boson, has passed away. His theory in the 1960s aimed to explain why atoms have mass, leading to the discovery of the ‘God particle’ in 2012. Despite initial struggles, his contributions to particle physics have left an indelible mark on scientific understanding.
CERN designing supercollider to push boundaries of modern physics
CERN is designing a new supercollider called the Future Circular Collider (FCC) to push the boundaries of modern physics research and perhaps discover the true nature of our mostly invisible universe. The new collider, expected to be operational by 2045, will be 8 times more powerful than the LHC and could help solve mysteries about the nature of our universe, such as the true nature of dark matter and the first instant after the Big Bang.
Large Hadron Collider Discovers Rare Higgs Boson Behavior
The world’s biggest proton-smasher has revealed a new, rare behavior of the famed Higgs boson. Detectors at the Large Hadron Collider spotted the particle decaying into a photon and a ‘Z boson’. This type of Higgs boson decay was predicted…
