Scientists Confirm Higgs Boson Discovery
Posted March 15th, 2013 at 6:25 pm (UTC-4)
Scientists working with the world’s largest atom smasher say the mystery particle they found last summer was a Higgs boson, which is believed to give mass to everything in the universe. However, while the physicists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) confirm the particle is a Higgs boson, it doesn’t appear to have […]
Does ‘God Particle’ Spell End of the Universe?
Posted February 20th, 2013 at 8:11 pm (UTC-4)
Last summer, when scientists finally cornered the elusive building block of the universe known as the Higgs boson, they apparently also discovered something else: that the universe’s days might be numbered. “It may be that the universe we live in is inherently unstable,” said Joseph Lykken, a theoretical physicist from the U.S. Department of Energy’s […]
Is There Another Higgs Boson Out There?
Posted July 16th, 2012 at 7:27 pm (UTC-4)
Tired, and rushing to meet a looming deadline, Dr. Pierre Savard and his colleagues didn’t realize what they’d found when they first came across a particle that looked a lot like the long-sought-after Higgs boson. But it didn’t take long for them to realize their hard work had paid off. “When we looked at it, […]
Nailing Down the Elusive Higgs Boson
Posted July 6th, 2012 at 6:34 pm (UTC-4)
Although it was the Fourth of July holiday in the United States, there were plenty of fireworks in Europe, where scientists announced they’d probably found the elusive Higgs boson, a particle believed to give all objects mass. At CERN headquarters in Geneva, two independent scientific teams – ATLAS and CMS – announced they’ve observed a […]
Evidence of ‘God Particle’ Found?
Posted July 3rd, 2012 at 7:56 pm (UTC-4)
Speculation is mounting that physicists at the world’s largest atom smasher plan to announce Wednesday that they’ve pretty much found the most sought-after particle in modern science. Scientists in Geneva reportedly believe they have enough evidence to confirm the existence of the Higgs boson, an elusive particle believed to give all objects mass. The discovery […]
