Newly measured W Boson breaks Standard Model of Physics. Here’s why this is a big deal
The theoretical framework that is supposed to explain how nature around us works failed a critical test.

What is the Standard Model of Particle Physics?
The Standard Model is our best description of the subatomic world. Join ZME for a stroll through the particle zoo.
Scientists just reported new subatomic particle measurements that could break the Standard Model
This could be the biggest news in physics since the Higgs boson.
Physicists dream up LHC 2.0: a new particle accelerator three times bigger than the current LHC
Three times bigger and seven times more powerful. Particles have no idea what's in store for them.
New LHC results could be a back-breaker for the Standard Model of Physics
We can't call it a major discovery. Not yet.
The LHC is back – and it’s stronger than ever
After the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) took a 2 year hiatus to up its power, it's finally back, and it's ...
The LHC is back in business!
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has smashed its first particle since it was shut down two years ago. The particle ...
Scientists prepare to re-open the LHC after increasing its energy output by 62.5%

Two new subatomic particles discovered at CERN, as predicted by Standard Model
While the LHC at CERN is gearing up for its long-awaited restart, following an overhaul, scientists aren't standing idle. After ...
Nucleus shaped like a pear challenges current understanding of physics
The nucleus of an atom is closely shaped like a sphere or rugby ball, signifying that mass is evenly distributed ...
Scientists search for unparticle in the Earth’s mantle – find nothing, still happy
Particles and unparticles Ok, we know a lot about particles - from electrons and neutrons to the more elusive quarks ...
LHC rare findings deal major blow to supersymmetry
Researchers at the Large Hadron Collider have detected one of the rarest decay particle found in nature, dealing a big ...
After extending Einstein’s theory of relativity to greater than light velocities, the laws of physics alter
three-dimensional (right) graph shows the relationship between three different velocities: v, u and U, where v is the velocity of ...
Fermilab’s Tevatron accelerator hints Higgs boson existance, confirms LHC data
The biggest manhunt in physics history is steadily closing in on its target. Wanted - Higgs boson, also known as ...
Interview: ‘Next year we will see the Higgs particle – or exclude its existence’
I recently came across this interview with Prof. Dr. Siegfried Bethke, Director at the Max Planck Institute of Physics in ...
