Anticipation Runs High Before Announcement on Elusive ‘Higgs Boson’
European physicists are expected to make an announcement early Wednesday (0200 EST/0600 UTC) about their latest findings in the 50-year quest for an elusive particle that many scientists consider one of the fundamental components of the universe. The Higgs boson, sometimes referred to as the “God particle,” is a theoretical subatomic particle thought to form […]
