Researchers have discovered a new particle that’s a magnetic relative of the Higgs boson. R Whereas the discovery of the Higgs boson required the tremendous power of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), this particle, dubbed the axial Higgs boson, was found using an experiment that would fit on a small kitchen countertop. As well as being a first in its own right, this magnetic cousin of the Higgs boson – the particle responsible for granting other particles their mass – could be a candidate for
