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 ...

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 ...

At a meeting held at CERN this morning, scientists presented the latest results from the search for the long-sought Higgs particle. After 30 years of research and $9 billion of investment, they’ve ...

Physicists at CERN's Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland said Wednesday that they had discovered a new subatomic particle that looks like the Higgs boson, a potential key to an understanding of why ...

Purdue University professors Ian Shipsey and Daniela Bortoletto stand with Edinburgh University professors Alan Walker and Peter Higgs at CERN. Purdue scientists were part of the team of scientists ...

Since its inception in 2008, the LHC (large hadron collider) at CERN has been a key player in pushing the boundaries of particle physics research. Consisting of four main experiments, the circular ...

Several researchers from universities in Oklahoma were among those contributing to the breakthrough scientific discovery recently of a particle with properties consistent with the Higgs boson. The ...

An interdisciplinary team led by Boston College physicists has discovered a new particle – or a previously undetectable quantum excitation – known as the axial Higgs mode, a magnetic relative of the ...
