Physicists love the Higgs boson, but they hate the God particle. The elusive Higgs particle, which scientists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) particle accelerator announced Tuesday (Dec. 13 ...

To cheers and standing ovations, scientists at the world’s biggest atom smasher claimed the discovery of a new subatomic particle Wednesday, calling it “consistent” with the long-sought ...

Scientists at CERN in Switzerland have announced the discovery of a new elementary particle, the first new particle since the Z boson was discovered way back in 1983.

The 83-year-old, who came up with the theory while walking in the Cairngorms in 1964, said calling the Higgs boson “the God particle” was “misleading”.

GENEVA -- The father of a theoretical subatomic particle dubbed "the God particle" says he's almost sure it will be confirmed in the next year in a race between powerful research equipment in the ...

A group of researchers is throwing cold water on the belief that the particle discovered in the Large Hadron Collider two years ago actually is the elusive Higgs boson.

GENEVA - Physicists say they have all but proven that the "God particle" exists. They have a footprint and a shadow, and the only thing left is to see for themselves the elusive subatomic particle ...

The genesis of its name aside, researchers say we cannot overestimate the role of “the God Particle” because they maintain that without its existence, no particles would have mass and without ...

The significance of the God particle is as old as time itself: scientists believe that at the moment of the Big Bang, when the universe was born, there existed a moment of incandescent beauty ...

According to U.S. scientists at Fermilab (Batavia, Illinois), their latest experiments and analysis of data from their collider has reduced the range in mass in which the elementary particle ...
