On 19 July 1973, the Gargamelle bubble chamber at CERN revealed the existence of weak neutral currents and put the nascent Standard Model of particle physics on solid ground
The observation at CERN’s nuclear physics facility of a long-sought decay of the thorium-229 nucleus in a solid-state system is a key step towards a clock that could outclass today’s most precise atomic clocks
The observed mass of the Higgs boson is, from the theoretical point of view, unnaturally small. This conundrum is forcing physicists to explore exotic explanations.
