Higgs: It’s ‘nice to be right sometimes’
The British scientist who gave his name to the Higgs boson particle spoke Friday of his delight after researchers affirmed its existence, saying it was “nice to be right sometimes”. Professor Peter Higgs was making his first detailed public comments since researchers at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN)…
‘God particle’ a gateway to new vision of universe
Physicists said Thursday the potential discovery of the “God particle” was a gateway to a new era that could see humanity unlock some of the universe’s great mysteries including dark matter. The European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) unveiled data from the Large Hadron Collider on Wednesday “consistent with the…
Higgs-like particle found in ‘milestone’ for mankind
After a quest spanning nearly half a century, physicists on Wednesday said they had found a new sub-atomic particle consistent with the elusive Higgs boson which is believed to confer mass. Rousing cheers and a standing ovation erupted at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) after scientists presented astonishing…
WATCH LIVE: Researchers release data on Higgs boson ‘God particle’
The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) announced early Wednesday morning in Zurich that they had new data in their search for the so-called “God particle.” The particle, nicknamed by Nobel prizewinning physicist Leon Lederman, can help scientists understand the origin of mass in the universe. Despite giving the particle…
Scientists find ‘strong hints’ of elusive ‘God particle’
US-based physicists Monday reported finding strong hints of the Higgs boson, the elusive particle that is believed to give objects mass, but said European data is needed to confirm any potential discovery. If physicists can confirm the existence of the Higgs boson, the last missing piece in the standard model…
What is the ‘god particle’ ?
Physicists are set to announce the latest results from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), but what exactly is the Higgs boson, why do people call it the ‘god particle’ and what would its discovery mean for physics? What is the Higgs boson? Named after Peter Higgs, an Edinburgh University physicist,…
CERN to give update on search for ‘God-particle’
The European Organisation for Nuclear Research said Friday it may announce next month whether tests with its atom-smasher have found the elusive “God particle”. Known formally as the Higgs boson, the particle is the theoretical missing link in the standard model of physics and is believed to be what gives…
