New Device Could Detect Fusions of Primordial Small Black Holes

The detection of primordial black holes offers a whole new perspective to interpret the origin of the Universe because these prevailing hypothetical black holes are assumed to have formed merely a few small fractions of a second after the Big Bang.

Higgs Mode Obtained via Dimensional Crossover in Quantum Magnets

In 2013, François ENGLERT and Peter HIGGS won the Nobel Prize in Physics for the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles, which was confirmed through the discovery of the predicted fundamental particle by the A Toroidal LHC Apparatus and the Compact Muon Solenoid experiments at The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN)'s Large Hadron Collider in 2012.
