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 ...

The long and complicated journey to detect the Higgs boson, which started with one small step about 25 years ago, might finally have reached its goal. This was reported by LHC particle accelerator ...

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 ...

The discovery of a new subatomic particle that is likely the elusive Higgs boson — a particle thought to give all other matter its mass — could be an important step toward uncovering the invisible ...

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 ...

In a major scientific breakthrough, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland have found new information about the Higgs boson, a particle that remains one of the most intriguing in ...

Editor's note: On October 8, 2013, Peter Higgs and Francois Englert won the Nobel Prize in Physics for their work on the Higgs boson. Below, our science columnist Brian Greene explains the science ...

Two years after CERN announced that it had discovered a particle that was probably a Higgs boson particle, the folks at the Large Hadron Collider have now confirmed that the newly discovered particle ...

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 ...

Peter Higgs, the theoretical physicist after which the Higgs boson is named, has been awarded the 2013 Nobel Prize for Physics. Higgs shares the prize with Francois Englert, another theoretical ...
