Scientists at CERN in Switzerland have announced the discovery of a new elementary particle, the first new particle since the Z boson was discovered way back in 1983. Curiously, CERN isn't calling ...

Researchers can't say for certain that a particle they discovered is the so-called "God particle," but the information they have "strongly indicates" it is. Shara Tibken was a managing editor at CNET ...

A new theory suggests the universe’s greatest secrets are hiding in a “zeptouniverse” that’s ready to be explored—without ...

Outside CERN, the announcement seemed to ricochet around the world with some of the speed and energy of the particle itself. Marc Sher, a professor of physics at William & Mary College, said most ...

But not anymore. After collecting data, scientists at the European Center for Nuclear Research, or CERN, have announced the discovery with 99.999 percent certainty that the Higgs Boson does exist.

CERN scientists announced on Wednesday that they observed a particle that strongly resembles the long-sought after Higgs boson, the final missing ingredient in the standard model of particle Physics.

The world’s most powerful particle accelerator has shattered every previous record, marking a pivotal moment for scientific exploration. In 2025, CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) generated more ...
