The recent discovery of the Higgs boson, a previously only-theorized particle whose existence would validate the currently accepted model of why things have mass, has had enormous implications for ...

Physicists are thrilled at today's (July 4) announcement of the discovery of a new elementary particle that is likely the Higgs boson, an elusive particle thought to give all other matter its mass.

The announcement last week of the first definitive evidence of a new particle, likely the long-awaited Higgs boson, has a lot to teach us - and not all of it is about science. It took an international ...

China’s decision to halt work on what was meant to be the world’s largest particle accelerator marked a sharp turn in the global race to probe the Higgs boson and the fabric of the universe. The ...

At the start of July, scientists announced that they’d discovered what they strongly believed to be the Higgs Boson, a particle that’s believed to be the key to unifying the standard and quantum ...

The announcement earlier this month of the first definitive evidence of a new particle, likely the long-awaited Higgs boson, has a lot to teach us - and not all of it is about science. It took an ...
