How a rejected paper by Kolkata physicist Satyendra Nath Bose, backed by Albert Einstein, laid the scientific foundation for ...

Ten years ago, scientists announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, which helps explain why elementary particles (the smallest building blocks of nature) have mass. For particle physicists, this was ...

China's ambitious new particle accelerator was meant to pick up where the Large Hadron Collider left off, but the project was ...

This month marks the 10th anniversary of the discovery of the Higgs boson, a true “Holy Grail” of science that had eluded detection for almost 50 years. But what exactly is this particle, and why is ...

On a fall morning in 2009, a team of three young physicists huddled around a computer screen in a small office overlooking Broadway in New York. They were dressed for success—even the graduate student ...

The data behind the Higgs boson breakthrough has been turned into a melody. A team of researchers has taken data created by the ATLAS experiment, which is part of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at ...

UPDATE: A leaked video published on CERN's website earlier today appears to have accidentally announced the discovery of the Higgs boson ahead of the rumored official announcement scheduled for early ...

The Large Hadron Collider, a series of tunnels constructed deep underground on the Swiss-French border, is playing host to perhaps the most dramatic piece of scientific research of our era: the search ...

Ten years ago, scientists announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, which helps explain why elementary particles (the smallest building blocks of nature) have mass. When you purchase through links ...

Scientists at CERN are announcing the existence of the Higgs Boson; the final missing particle in the Standard Model of particle physics. Scientists at CERN are announcing the existence of the Higgs ...

The Higgs-like boson that was unveiled this week at Europe's CERN physics lab is one of the heaviest subatomic particles ever detected, but it also has a lighter side. Like light beer, for example.

Tomorrow morning, CERN is expected to announce the Large Hadron Collider's discovery of the Higgs boson subatomic particle. This particle, which has been strongly sought after since it was theorized ...
