So while you were out drinking beer and shooting guns at hamburgers yesterday, science found “the God particle.” But, uh, if you didn’t already know what that was, you were probably too drunk or are ...

For decades, physicists searched for a missing piece of nature's puzzle, an elusive particle believed to explain why matter has mass. Nicknamed the "God particle", the Higgs boson became one of the ...

The discovery of a new subatomic particle that is likely the elusive Higgs boson — a particle thought to give all other matter its mass — could be an important step toward uncovering the invisible ...

Given the rarity of Higgs boson particles, CERN will only be able to reward 10 lucky winners. Reuters Scientists from the European research outfit CERN rocked the physics world Wednesday with the ...

Peter Higgs, a British physicist and Nobel Prize winner whose musings on the origins of mass launched a nearly five-decade, multibillion-dollar search for a subatomic particle — later known as the ...

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 ...

When it was time for the 2013 Nobel prize in physics to be announced, Peter Higgs went fishing. Andy Rain/EPA Images Peter Higgs, who gave his name to the subatomic particle known as the Higgs boson, ...

CERN will be holding a seminar on Tuesday for scientists involved in the ATLAS and CMS experiments to present the status of their searches for the Standard Model Higgs Boson. This graphic shows a ...

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.
