The elusive Higgs particle has the power to undo physics as we know it. The fact that it hasn't could have big implications about the nature of the universe.

Physicists say they have found the best evidence yet for the Higgs boson, the subatomic particle, sometimes called 'the God particle,' that would help explain why matter and energy exist. Fermilab ...

The Higgs, despite the fact that it took 50 years to discover, has been making the Universe possible for 13.8 billion years. Further reading on what the Universe was like when: ...

On 4 July 2012, physicists at CERN, Europe’s particle-physics laboratory, declared victory in their long search for the Higgs boson. The elusive particle’s discovery filled in the last gap in ...

The Higgs boson, discovered in 2012 thanks to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), is at the heart of the Standard Model of particle physics because it explains why particles have mass.

Yesterday, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, commonly known as CERN, announced that its Large Hadron Collider had discovered a particle that's consistent with that of the Higgs boson ...

In one of the last updates before the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) shuts down until 2015, CERN has announced that its observation of the Higgs boson (or a particle that is Higgs-like) is now ...

That's because the Higgs boson could, in principle, be giving rise to dark energy . The standard model of particle physics encompasses the fundamental particles that make up matter, ...

The game, Agent Higgs, turns the quest on its head.Though physicists still hunt the Higgs, they are the bad guys – the player’s goal is to keep the particle hidden. Hide that Higgs ...
