The 'God Particle' May Not Have Actually Been Discovered: Higgs Boson May Remain Elusive

Last year, CERN announced that it had discovered a new elementary particle, the Higgs particle, also long known as the 'God particle.' Now, scientists are taking a second look at the finding and believe that this particle wasn't the Higgs particle at all and may just look like it.

The Higgs Boson Reveals that the Universe Should Have Collapsed Seconds After the Big Bang

We shouldn't exist. At least, we shouldn't exist according to British cosmologists. They've predicted that the universe shouldn't have lasted more than a second after using data from the latest observations of the sky combined with the recent discovery of the Higgs boson.

ATLAS Experiment at CERN Shows that Higgs Boson Decays into Fermions

The ATLAS experiment at CERN has released preliminary results that show evidence that the Higgs boson decays to two tau particles.

Could the Higgs Nobel Be the End of Particle Physics?

The 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to François Englert and Peter Higgs for their work that explains why subatomic particles have mass. They predicted the existence of the Higgs boson, a fundamental particle, which was confirmed last year by experiments conducted at CERN’s Large Hadr...

Higgs Boson Particle Scientists Awarded 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics

In 1964, two scientists were working independently on a theory. They were trying to determine exactly how particles acquired mass, which contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles. Now, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2013 Nobel Prize...

The Higgs Boson: One Year On

A year ago on the 4th of July, physicists from the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN proudly announced the discovery of a new boson looking very much like the Higgs boson.

Higgs Boson: A 50-Year Walk From Theory to Reality

Scientists at CERN announced Thursday that it’s almost 100% certain that they have found the elusive Higgs boson – a crucial piece of the puzzle when it comes to explain why the universe has mass.

Eureka! Higgs Boson Discovery Confirmed After Analysing Additional Data

Physicists from Large Hadron Collider said that they have new evidence that shows that the particle discovered in July 2012 is indeed the Higgs Boson- the subatomic particle that's associated with mechanism that gives mass to particles. The next step, physicists say, will be to identify the type of ...

"Spin Doctors" Are Working on the Higgs Boson Question

Physicists announced today, speaking at the ongoing Moriond conference in La Thuile, Italy, that the new particle discovered at CERN last year that is most likely the Higgs boson is looking more and more like the real thing. However, more analysis is still required before a definitive statement can ...
