Fermilab physicists really care about the mass of the W boson. They spent nearly a decade recording collisions in the Tevatron collider and another decade analysing the data. This culminated in the April 7 announcement that this obscure...

By the time you've read this, a billion billion dark matter particles may have streamed through your body like ghosts. The particle or particles of the dark sector make up the vast majority of the mass of the universe - so to them, we're...

One Minute Physics provides an energetic and entertaining view of old and new problems in physics -- all in one minute!

This year's end News episode wraps up with nothing but superlatives: the biggest, oldest, first, last, smallest and hottest developments in science from 2012.

Can you imagine a cup of tea that doesn't obey the laws of physics? One that pours out of the bottom of your cup while crawling up the sides to the top? Join Hank Green for a fun new SciShow super episode all about superfluids!

Hank gives us the specifics on the "discovery" of the elusive Higgs boson. It is, at the very least, a victory for the scientific method!

The Higgs Boson. What more need be said?

SciShow News explains how evolution and antibiotics have teamed up to produce an ordinary germ that can now, sometimes, kill people. Also, our favorite piece of science equipment -- the Large Hadron Collider -- has big plans for this...

This year's end News episode wraps up with nothing but superlatives: the biggest, oldest, first, last, smallest and hottest developments in science from 2012.

In 2012, scientists at CERN discovered evidence of the Higgs boson. The what? The Higgs boson is one of two types of fundamental particles and is a particular game-changer in the field of particle physics, proving how particles gain...

Hank continues our series on the four fundamental forces of physics by describing the weak interaction, which operates at an infinitesimally small scale to cause particle decay.

Imagine a cup of tea that doesn't obey the laws of physics, it pours out of the bottom of your cup while crawling up the sides to the top, and you'll have a pretty good picture of the ultracold phenomena of superfluids.

The search for a mysterious subatomic particle can certainly involve some enormous tools, not to mention a multitude of scientists. The effort to find the elusive ""Higgs boson"" includes over 5,800 scientists from 56 countries! The...

In 2012, scientists working at the CERN particle physics laboratory near Geneva proved the existence of the Higgs boson particle, the “visible manifestation of the Higgs field.” <b<br/>r/>

University of Florida Professor of Physics Darin Acosta explains what we know about the Higgs boson and what is left to discover.
