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 ...

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 ...

"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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...
