New research could tell us about particle interactions in the early universe and even hint at new physics.

A theory of everything would unite the four forces of nature, but is such a thing possible?

Scientists think that a Higgs force does exist. But it’s the Higgs boson’s relationship to that force that makes it a bit of a black sheep. It’s the reason that, when the Higgs is added to the Standard Model of particle physics, it’s often pictured apart from the rest of the boson family.
