On Wednesday, scientists at the European Centre for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Switzerland finally found what they think could be the missing piece to puzzle that is the Standard Model of particle ...

Scientists at CERN’s ATLAS experiment have uncovered compelling evidence of Higgs bosons decaying into muons, an incredibly rare event that could deepen our understanding of how particles acquire mass ...

Geneva, 4 July 2012. At a seminar held at CERN1 today as a curtain raiser to the year’s major particle physics conference, ICHEP2012 in Melbourne, the ATLAS and CMS experiments presented their latest ...

Our Video Sunday feature continues with this is full press conference update on the search for the Higgs boson at CERN in Geneva Switzerland. This press conference followed a 2-hour Seminar with ...

Sign up for The Media Today, CJR’s daily newsletter. Excited speculation about the discovery of one of physics’ most sought-after particles is coming in waves now ...

Peter Higgs, the shy, somewhat reclusive physicist who won a Nobel Prize for his theoretical work on how the Higgs boson gives elementary particles their mass, has died at the age of 94. According to ...

The Atlas and CMS teams presented their data separately in Melbourne on Wednesday, but both concluded they've discovered a new particle consistent with what they think to be a Higgs boson at a ...
