The Higgs boson self-coupling is a phenomenon where the Higgs interacts with itself, which can manifest in particle ...

String theory attempts to unify all forces and particles in the universe using vibrating strings. It aims to explain the Standard Model of particle physics, which is incomplete. String theory predicts ...

In nuclear beta decay an up quark ‘u’ in a proton converts into an up down quark ‘d,’ turning the proton into a neutron and emitting a positron and a neutrino. This work affects interpretation of beta ...

Superheavy charged gravitinos may be the long-sought answer to dark matter. Dark Matter remains one of the biggest mysteries ...

Matter and antimatter are like mirror opposites: except for their electric charge, they are the same in every respect. Well, almost the same—very occasionally matter and antimatter behave differently ...

Pioneering work Illustration of how a proton collision (left) at the Large Hadron Collider creates a beauty baryon (centre) that then decays into products that are detected by LHCb (right). (Courtesy: ...
