The ATLAS and CMS collaborations have not only discovered a new particle, argues Yosef Nir, but also laid bare the underpinnings of electroweak interactions and uncovered the first...
A hidden-double-charm tetraquark observed recently by LHCb has reinvigorated the debate over whether tetraquarks are pairs of mesons or pairs of diquarks.
Steven Weinberg, one of the architects of the Standard Model, is awarded $3M Special Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics.
