CERN's ATLAS detects evidence for decay of Higgs boson into muon–antimuon pair
Although its existence had been theorized for decades, the Higgs boson was finally observed to exist in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. Since then, it has continued to be heavily stud...

Earlier ultra-relativistic freeze-out could revive a decades-old theory for dark matter
A new theory for the origins of dark matter suggests that fast-moving, neutrino-like dark particles could have decoupled from Standard Model particles far earlier than previous theories had suggested.
