The mechanism predicts a particle - the Higgs boson - which was finally discovered in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern, in Switzerland. “This year's prize is about something small ...

The European physics laboratory CERN is planning to build a mega collider by 2070. Critics say the plan could lead to its ...

Higgs predicted the existence of a new particle — the so-called Higgs boson — in 1964. But it would be almost 50 years before the particle’s existence could be confirmed at the Large Hadron ...

the Higgs boson. But what is the elusive subatomic particle – which has also been called the “God particle” – and what exactly did he have to say about it? – What did Prof Higgs win the ...

On March 2, 1995, the top quark discovery at Fermilab was announced by scientists on the CDF and DZero collaborations, and ...

An interdisciplinary team led by Boston College physicists has discovered a new particle—or previously undetectable quantum excitation—known as the axial Higgs mode, a magnetic relative of the ...

9. It took 50 years, billions of pounds and trillions of proton collisions to find the elusive Higgs boson particle The Higgs boson particle was first proposed by Peter Higgs in 1964. It explained ...

Experiments at the LHC proved the Standard Model of particle physics by detecting the Higgs boson particle — a particle which itself had long proved to be elusive. What is the Higgs boson?

The Standard Model is a kind of periodic table of the elements for particle physics. But instead of listing ... the Large Hadron Collider found the final piece of the puzzle, the Higgs boson, in 2012.

The underlying theoretical construct in particle physics is called the Standard Model and it contains 6 quarks, 6 leptons, 4 gauge bosons, and one scalar boson (the Higgs boson), which interact ...

WIRED is where tomorrow is realized. It is the essential source of information and ideas that make sense of a world in constant transformation. The WIRED conversation illuminates how technology is ...
