Not the Higgs boson, but a Higgs boson — a subtle but important difference.

Physicists said that, based on a review of new data, they are confident that they have discovered a Higgs boson, a long-sought particle crucial to explaining the universe.

When Peter Higgs first proposed that an invisible field strewn across space gave mass to the building blocks of the universe, the theory was ridiculed by some of the most respected minds of the time.

A half-century quest ends as physicists announce the discovery of Higgs boson, theorized to be so fundamental that without it, nothing could exist.

Physicists say they have all but proven that the 'God particle' exists.

Professor Peter Higgs was a young lecturer walking in the Highlands in 1964 when he dreamed up the idea of the particle that now bears his name.

After a quest spanning nearly half a century, physicists today said they had found a new sub-atomic particle consistent with the elusive Higgs boson.

The illustration shows what the long-presumed Higgs boson particle is thought to look like.

Scientists at Europe's CERN research center have found a new subatomic particle, a basic building block of the universe, which appears to be the boson imagined and named half a century ago.

Scientists at CERN have announced that they have discovered evidence of a Higgs-like particle with an evidence signal of 5 sigma, the agreed threshold for

The Cern laboratory may have let slip its biggest breakthrough in a generation after appearing to announce the discovery of a new particle in an online video.

Many university scientists are involved in discovering this particle.

Scientists in Switzerland are announcing now whether or not they have found a particle crucial to understanding how the universe is built. But did people know there’s an Indian angle to all off this?

All the latest developments from Cern, home of the Large Hadron Collider, as scientists gather for a major announcement.

What is largely unknown, is that the term "boson" owes its name to the pioneering work of the late Indian physicist, Satyendra Nath Bose.

Scientists believe they have captured the elusive "God particle" that gives matter mass and holds the physical fabric of the universe together.

The Best Analogies Scientists and Journalists Use To Explain the Higgs Boson

Scientists at the home of the world's most powerful collider say they've found a subatomic particle that's never been seen before — a particle that could well be the fabled Higgs boson.

The discovery of a new sub-atomic particle that is key to understanding how the universe is built has an intrinsic Indian connection.

As scientists at Cern have announced that the formerly theoretical Higgs boson actually exists, should its erstwhile nickname, the 'God particle', be dropped?

As all eyes are on CERN, Indian scientific and technological contributions are among the many that keep the world’s biggest particle physics laboratory buzzing.

Scientists of Kolkata's Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics have been involved in the quest for the Higgs boson over the years.
