A newfound particle discovered at the world's largest atom smasher last year is, indeed, the Higgs boson, the particle thought to explain how other particles get their mass, scientists reported today ...

The Large Hadron Collider will be shut down, paving the way for a major upgrade, and perhaps its eventual, even bigger ...

"When my student showed me the data I thought she must be wrong," Boston College professor and lead researcher Kenneth Burch told Live Science. "It's not every day you find a new particle sitting on ...

On July 4, 2012, scientists at CERN confirmed the observation of the Higgs boson, an elementary particle first proposed in the 1960s. The boson’s discovery was a momentous occasion, as it meant ...

Physicists involved in experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have presented evidence of a new particle that may prove to be the long-sought Higgs boson. It remains to be seen, however, ...

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in ...

In the periodic table, no element is more important than another one. But in the Standard Model—a theory that explains the smallest constituents of the universe and the forces that govern them, minus ...

In 2012, scientists from the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) revealed that they have discovered the Higgs Boson particle. Also known as the God particle, the Higgs Boson is an ...

The elusive Higgs boson, the so-called "God particle," may not have been discovered despite claims of it being detected, some scientists are saying. Particle physicists at the European Organization ...
