A glitch once called into question the value of the $10-billion Large Hadron Collider, but it has run dependably for Higgs boson researchers.In 2008, when faulty wiring closed down the $10-billion Large Hadron Collider for more than a year, many wondered whether physicists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research had a white elephant on their hands. full story ![]()
The elusive Higgs boson particle that was discovered by the Large Hadron Collider last year could unlock many of science’s most difficult questions. The mass of the Higgs boson could also hold the answer to the end of the universe, but don't worry; we've got billions of years.

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.

Scientists at CERN have confirmed the existence of the Higgs Boson, the elusive particle believed to be responsible for giving mass and shape to all objects in the universe. The announcement comes after studying the data from last year's potentially earth-destroying tests using the Large Hadron Collider. Plus it's Pi Day, whee!

Just about the same time that the white smoke was going up in Rome announcing the election of a new pope, a triumphant cry rose from a scientific meeting nearly 500 miles away: Habemus Higgs boson! At a conference in the town of La Thuile, located near the Italian border with France, scientists from the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN) said that the latest data...
