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 […]
Scientists: Particles Seen to Travel Faster Than Light
Scientists have made a discovery that, if confirmed, could rewrite the laws of physics. An international group of researchers says it has measured a sub-atomic particle, called a neutrino, moving faster than the speed of light – something that was supposed to be impossible. A particle accelerator blasted a beam of neutrinos 730 kilometers from […]
