The recent discovery of the Higgs boson, a previously only-theorized particle whose existence would validate the currently accepted model of why things have mass, has had enormous implications for ...

This is what the creation of a Higgs Boson looks like to the Large Hadron Collider. (Credit: CERN) The Higgs boson is, if ...

Johns Hopkins University’s David Kaplan was a film student turned theoretical physicist when he came up with the idea for a documentary on the search for the Higgs boson—at the time, the last ...

Researchers working at the world's largest atom smasher in Geneva have found tantalizing hints of the tiny, elemental bit of matter that has been labeled "the brick that built the universe" and "the ...

Purdue University professors Ian Shipsey and Daniela Bortoletto stand with Edinburgh University professors Alan Walker and Peter Higgs at CERN. Purdue scientists were part of the team of scientists ...

At the start of July, scientists announced that they’d discovered what they strongly believed to be the Higgs Boson, a particle that’s believed to be the key to unifying the standard and quantum ...

The Higgs boson discovery didn't win the Nobel Prize in Physics this year despite being the sexiest and perhaps the most significant physics discovery in the last 50 years. You might even be asking ...

The Large Hadron Collider has just announced results strongly suggesting a potential detection of the Higgs Boson at approximately 135 times the mass of the proton. While this doesn’t quite count as ...

Now that Higgs boson discovery afterglow has faded, what are physics fans going to talk about? Well, the Nobel Prize for starters. Here's a rundown of some post-Higgs boson questions: Who's Going to ...

Physicists are thrilled at today's (July 4) announcement of the discovery of a new elementary particle that is likely the Higgs boson, an elusive particle thought to give all other matter its mass.
