Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. There were a huge variety of potential new physics signatures that ...

Although its existence had been theorized for decades, the Higgs boson was finally observed to exist in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. Since then, it has continued to be heavily ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Do kaons decay using a new kind of physics? Researchers are trying to explain their anomalous findings. Their larger experiment is an ongoing ...

As strange as it sounds, antimatter is essentially just like regular matter, except its particles have the opposite charge. But that simple difference has some major implications – if ever a particle ...

For the first time, scientists observe a new and rare decay mode where oxygen-13 breaks into three helium nuclei and a proton following beta decay. Scientists have previously observed interesting ...

How quickly a battery electrode decays depends on properties of individual particles in the battery -- at first. Later on, the network of particles matters more. Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries don ...

It may be that the famous Higgs boson, co-responsible for the existence of masses of elementary particles, also interacts with the world of the new physics that has been sought for decades. If this ...

Do kaons decay using a new kind of physics? Researchers are trying to explain their anomalous findings. Their larger experiment is an ongoing investigation of CP symmetry. The anomalies could be ...
