Dark Matter Mass Limits Linked to Higgs Boson Interactions
Efforts to unravel dark matter's mysteries have revealed a potential mass limitation due to its interaction with the Higgs boson. A new study suggests that dark matter particles exceeding a few thousand giga-electron volts (GeV) could disrupt the Higgs boson, altering fundamental physical laws. This finding challenges the Standard Model and prompts...

Heavy Dark Matter Could Break the Standard Model, New Research Shows
New research warns that heavy dark matter particles could interfere with the Higgs boson, leading to instability in the Standard Model of particle physics. If confirmed, this could reshape how dark matter is studied, suggesting lighter particles or new interaction mechanisms. Scientists may need to adjust experiments to focus on low-mass candidates...

Mark Thomson Appointed CERN Director-General, Takes Charge of Collider Project
Mark Thomson has been named as the new Director-General of CERN, where he will oversee the $17 billion Future Circular Collider project. Thomson, a British physicist known for his role in the discovery of the Higgs boson, will lead the laboratory through challenges such as securing funding and addressing scepticism from key contributors like German...

Scientists at CERN's LHC Observe Three "Exotic" Particles for First Time
Scientists working with the CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have discovered three subatomic particles never seen before as they work to unlock the building blocks of the universe. They will help physicists better understand how quarks bind together into composite particles.

CERN’s Large Hadron Collider Set to Smash Protons Together at Unprecedented Energy Levels
The Large Hadron Collider will begin its third run today, as it begins to smash protons together at an unprecedented energy level of 13.6 trillion electronvolts. The world's largest and most powerful particle collider will run around the clock for four years after a three-year break for upgrades. The newly upgraded collider will look at the Higgs B...

Scientists Discover New Elusive Particle, Magnetic Relative of Higgs Boson Particle, Using Tabletop Experiment
A team of scientists have discovered a new particle or a quantum excitation, which was previously undetectable, using a tabletop experiment. Named the axial Higgs mode, the new elusive particle is a magnetic relative of the mass-defining Higgs Boson particle.
