Finding the elusive Higgs boson, the particle that makes energy acquire mass, has been the goal of physicists for several decades, and projects such as Fermilab and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have appeared to accomplish exactly that. Now, due to the DZero collaboration at the Department of Energy (DOE)'s Fe... |

Tomasz Skwarnicki, a physicist from Syracuse University, is among the scientists interested in the search for the Higgs boson. This boson is the elementary particle that confers mass to all the other particles. According to the standard model, there can be only one such particle, but recent calculations resulted in t... |

Last month, a team of physicists made a surprising announcement, in which they claim that they might have found an exotic particle, called the Higgs boson, or the "God" particle, as it plays a key role in explaining the origins of the mass of other elementary particles, in particular the difference between the massl... |
