Scientists at CERN in Switzerland have announced the discovery of a new elementary particle, the first new particle since the Z boson was discovered way back in 1983. Curiously, CERN isn't calling ...

CERN scientists announced on Wednesday that they observed a particle that strongly resembles the long-sought after Higgs boson, the final missing ingredient in the standard model of particle Physics.

Researchers can't say for certain that a particle they discovered is the so-called "God particle," but the information they have "strongly indicates" it is. Shara Tibken was a managing editor at CNET ...

The ATLAS particle detector at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) outside Geneva is 150 ft. long, 82 ft. high, weighs 7,000 tons, and contains enough cable and wiring to wrap around ...

— -- The physics world was abuzz Monday with early reports that the elusive "God particle" had been detected at Europe's premier physics lab. Discovering the particle, formally called the Higgs ...

Outside CERN, the announcement seemed to ricochet around the world with some of the speed and energy of the particle itself. Marc Sher, a professor of physics at William & Mary College, said most ...

CERN has unveiled plans for an even larger Large Hadron Collider, with a 100km (62-mile) circumference - about four times longer than the current machine. The Future Circular Collider (FCC) will be ...

LONDON — Nobel prize-winning physicist Peter Higgs, who proposed the existence of the so-called “God particle” that helped explain how matter formed after the Big Bang, has died at age 94, the ...
