The discovery of the Higgs Boson, popularly known as the "God Particle", was one of the defining scientific breakthroughs of the 21st century. Announced by CERN in 2012, it confirmed a decades-old ...

A high-energy particle has fallen from space, and scientists have no idea what it is or where it came from. It occurred during an ultra-high-energy cosmic ray event, the likes of which were only ...

Some researchers are throwing cold water on the belief that the particle discovered in the Large Hadron Collider two years ago actually is the elusive Higgs boson. Teams of scientists said last year ...

STOCKHOLM -- Nearly 50 years after they came up with the theory, but little more than a year since the world's biggest atom smasher delivered the proof, Britain's Peter Higgs and Belgian colleague ...
