Scientists Confirm Higgs Boson Discovery

It is a subatomic point where hard science meets myth and mystery, so much about the Higgs boson gets mangled in the telling. It is not, as is sometimes claimed, the sole source of matter's heft – Einstein taught us that mass and energy are two sides

New data unveiled on Thursday strengthens the belief that a subatomic particle discovered last year is the elusive Higgs boson, European physicists said. Analysis of two characteristics, teased from experiments at the world's

It is now almost certain the subatomic particle that brings together everything in the universe has been found, CERN scientists announced on Thursday.

At this time, further analysis of evidence from an elementary particle found last July in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) “strongly indicates” that scientists finally have discovered the elusive Higgs boson. Proof of its existence

Scientists working with the world's largest atom smasher say the mystery particle they found last summer was a Higgs boson, which is believed to give mass to everything in the universe. However, while the physicists at the European Organization for
