This is what the creation of a Higgs Boson looks like to the Large Hadron Collider. (Credit: CERN) The Higgs boson is, if nothing else, the most expensive particle of all time. It's a bit of an unfair ...

We experience the flow of time because it’s a natural outcome of the basic laws of physics. But we may need to build a whole new model to account for gravity’s influence.

Astronomers found evidence that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, hinting at a "fundamental breakthrough" that ...
