The Higgs boson is special kind of particle that doesn’t really appear in everyday life. Instead, it subtly interacts with many other particles and is responsible for giving them mass. Additionally, ...

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 ...

Elina Berglund has fought to create the first FDA-cleared birth control app as attacks on reproductive rights ramp up across ...

Except for one outlier: the Higgs boson. Named after Peter Higgs, the British physicist who predicted its existence in the 1960s, this particle is the final piece of the puzzle, and it’s a doozy. The ...

Kennesaw State University researchers Nikolaos Kidonakis and Marco Guzzi have received their second joint grant from the ...

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 ...

This time, physicists, including core UCLA researchers, have accurately measured the mass of the W boson — more precisely ...

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 Nobel Prize for?
