Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at that. Earlier, he'd been a scientist, but he realized he wasn't very happy sitting at a lab bench all day. Science writing, ...

The new calculation, made at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) near Geneva, could help solve a niggling mystery about this ...

In this video, I explain supersymmetry (SUSY), its significance, and why it remains undiscovered. Supersymmetry posits a new ...

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A powerful new particle accelerator that could be set up at Fermilab, a telescope to observe the oldest light in the universe, and research to learn more about mysteries such as dark ...

An astrophysicist has shown that gravity may be able to exist without mass, a theory that suggests dark matter may not be necessary to explain phenomena observed in our universe. Dark matter is a ...

Measurement of W boson particle mass confirms Standard Model of physics and reignites the search for other particles.

In science, there are thousands of ways to measure the world around us that the average person may never encounter. For example: Pascals to measure pressure, Candles to measure light intensity, and ...

When fundamental particles are heavier or lighter than expected, physicists' understanding of the universe can tip into the unknown. A particle that is just beyond its predicted mass can unravel ...

It’s often said in science that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Recent measurements of the mass of the elementary particle known as the W boson provide a useful case study as to ...

Some clusters of galaxies may not need dark matter in order for their physics to work. In new research, a physicist describes a “shell singularity,” where gravity applies without mass. Today’s ...

There’s a lot more to the story of the Higgs boson than just one man named Higgs. Despite the appeal of the “lone genius” narrative, it’s rare that a discovery can be attributed solely to the work of ...
