Pentaquarks: A New Kind of Subatomic Particle Discovered by CERN Scientists
Scientists working at the world’s biggest atom smasher say they have discovered a new kind of particle called “pentaquarks.”
Working Toward the Higgs
In 1964, Belgian physicist François Englert proposed a solution to one of the universe’s central mysteries: how a particle gains mass.
Definitely, Maybe: Evidence Grows for Positive ID of Higgs Boson
Physicists are now almost certain the curious “Higgs-like particle” revealed at CERN last year is a Higgs boson.
CERN Says New Particle Is Probably Higgs Boson
The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has shown a particle with a mass which matches that of the hypothesized Higgs boson or so-called god particle.
Error May Have Caused CERN’s Faster-Than-Light Neutrinos Discovery
The laboratories that discovered neutrinos traveling faster than light now backtrack and state that they have found two possible glitches in their system that could account for this anomalous result.

CERN Moves Closer to Finding Elusive God Particle
New research from the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) shows significant progress in the hunt for the subatomic Higgs boson, yet its short-lived existence or non-existence still cannot be conclusively proven.
