The Higgs is a type of boson that was postulated by three scientists in the 1960s: Peter Higgs, Francois Englert and Tom Kibble, all of whom were present in Geneva in 2012 when the discovery was ...

Ten years ago scientists announced one of the most momentous discoveries in physics: the Higgs boson. The particle, predicted 48 years earlier, was the missing piece in the Standard Model of ...

When it was first discovered in 2012, the Higgs boson captured the popular imagination and became the subject of intense scientific scrutiny. One way scientists knew for sure that the object they ...

Physicists announced today (March 14) that a particle discovered at the world's largest atom smasher last year is a Higgs boson, a long-sought particle thought to explain how other particles get ...

The Higgs boson is a fundamental particle discovered on July 4, 2012, by researchers at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) located at CERN, Switzerland.

The Higgs boson is produced in the collision of two protons at 14 TeV and quickly decays into four muons, a type of heavy electron that is not absorbed by the detector. The tracks of the muons are ...

There’s something wrong with the Higgs boson. It’s like a two-headed snake. Cats playing with dogs. Rabbits without baby bunnies. Voldemort’s nose. It ain’t natural. In this case ...

The Higgs boson's interaction with the heaviest "third-generation" quarks—top and bottom quarks—has been observed and found to be in line with the Standard Model. advertisement.

Higgs predicted the existence of the Higgs boson particle, helping explain how matter formed after the Big Bang. His death at 94 was announced by the University of Edinburgh, where he was a professor.
