Proton collisions at the LHC appear wildly chaotic, but new data reveal a surprising underlying order. The findings confirm that a basic rule of quantum mechanics holds true even in extreme particle ...

"Wonderful, beautiful and unique" is how Gordon Kane describes supersymmetry theory. Kane, a theoretical physicist at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, has spent about 30 years working on ...

These are the event displays of Large Hadron Collider physicists’ dreams. Our current understanding of particle physics, known as the Standard Model, has been tremendously successful. Over the past 40 ...

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in equations rather than explained from first principles. A new proposal argues that ...

Inside the Large Hadron Collider, protons slam together at nearly the speed of light, creating a brief fireball of quarks and ...
