“We have discovered a new particle,” CERN director general Rolf Heuer said Wednesday morning. “A boson. Most probably a Higgs boson.” Even the most anticipated news in science does not come without some caveats. Still, all signs point to a discovery today, arguably one of the most important findings in modern physics. The inscrutable Higgs boson, carrier of mass and final puzzle piece of physics’ prevailing theory, may have finally been... full story ![]()

A wealth of new data has made scientists even more confident that the elusive "God particle" is in their grasp. The sub-atomic particle whose dramatic discovery was announced last July is looking increasingly like some form of Higgs boson. Physicists have spent decades searching for the particle which according to theory gives matter mass. The new particle was detected...

The elusive particle, called a Higgs boson, was predicted in 1964 to help fill in our understanding of the creation of the universe, which many theorize occurred in a massive explosion known as the Big Bang. The particle was named for Peter Higgs, one of the physicists who proposed its existence, but it later became popularly known as the "God particle."

The discovery of the Higgs boson is real. But physicists are cagey about whether the new particle they've found will fit their predictions or not.

Physicists announced today (March 14) that a particle discovered at the world's largest atom smasher last year is a Higgs boson, a long-sought particle thought to explain how other particles get their mass.

Last July, scientists at CERN announced that, using the Large Hadron Collider, it had discovered a particle that was consistent with the properties they'd expect to find in Higgs boson. A Higgs boson is the particle that the current model of physics describes as giving mass to all particles in the universe.

Physicists at the CERN supercollider (pictured) in Geneva say they are now confident they have discovered a long-sought subatomic particle known as a Higgs boson - although they still aren't sure what type of Higgs Boson it is.

The apparent discovery of the Higgs boson particle, sometimes called the God particle, is important because it is both a key building block in the universe and highlights the value of scientific collaboration.
