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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. This is what the creation of a Higgs Boson looks like to the Large Hadron Collider. (Credit: CERN) The Higgs boson is, if nothing ...

At the dawn of the 1970s, the idea of a massive scalar boson as the keystone of a unified theoretical model of the weak and electromagnetic interactions had yet to become anchored in a field that was ...

If you've paid any attention to physics or physical science research in the past few years, you've heard about the Large Hadron Collider(Opens in a new window) (LHC), the world's largest and ...

The discovery of the Higgs boson filled in a missing piece of the standard model of particle physics, which describes matter and its interactions. A decade later, physicists continue to probe the ...

Ten years ago, scientists announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, which helps explain why elementary particles (the smallest building blocks of nature) have mass. For particle physicists, this was ...

Where did all the antimatter go? After the Big Bang, matter and antimatter should have been created in equal amounts. Why we live in a universe of matter, with very little antimatter, remains a ...

Peter Higgs, who gave his name to the subatomic particle known as the Higgs boson, passed away at the age of 94. He was always a modest man, especially when considering that he was one of the greats ...

The legendary particle that physicists thought explained why matter has mass probably does not exist. So say researchers who have spent a year analysing data from the LEP accelerator at the CERN ...

There was a bump in the middle of the night. On June 14, 2012, Johns Hopkins physics and astronomy professor Andrei Gritsan analyzed data in a small meeting room at the CERN in Switzerland. He worked ...
