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 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 ...

Scientists are set to confirm they have caught a glimpse of the elusive "God particle" -- the so-far theoretical concept that helps to explain some of the mysteries of the Universe. (Video ...

almost 50 years after Higgs predicted the existence of a new particle, which came to be known as the Higgs boson, or the “God particle.” Higgs' work helped scientists understand one of the ...

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 ...

If you're talking to a physicist about the Higgs boson, whatever you do, do not call it by its media-hyped nickname the "God Particle." You're almost guaranteed to illicit a wince, a grimace ...

The preferred name for the God particle among physicists is the Higgs boson, or the Higgs particle, or simply the Higgs, in honor of the University of Edinburgh physicist Peter Higgs, who proposed ...

Naturally, there was still work to do: search for yet another elusive piece of the particle physics puzzle, the Higgs boson — sometimes called the “God Particle.” It was finally detected in ...
