A new particle that has recently been discovered at CERN confirms predictions made by theoretical physicists over six years ago.

What is a particle phenomenologist?

A bump in the data from the LHC promises exciting news.

This year's Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded for results that shed light on mysterious fundamental particles called neutrinos.

What are the mysteries that still remain in particle physics?

It's amazing to think that our world is based on a handful of fundamental particles and forces. Find out how it all fits together.

Research into the bizarre world of neutrinos helps to piece together the creation story of the Universe.
