There's been plenty of talk about Glass and there will be plenty more leading up to its launch, sometime next year maybe. Google has been rather open about the project, leaving it open to criticism, but it does try to steer the discussion in the direction it wants. One way of doing that is via the Glass Explore... |

Antimatter is the exact opposite of matter, the same particles with their charge switched around. That's the popular view, but it's not quite accurate. Not all particle/antiparticle pairs are exact opposites.
There are what is called CP (charged parity) violations, slight differences between a particle and... |

Scientists at CERN are edging ever closer to calling the Higgs boson, i.e. the particle discovered at the Large Hadron Collider, the Higgs boson. While physicists said they discovered a particle which looked like the Higgs boson, they were weary of actually calling that, pending more analysis. Now though, the scient... |

The search for the Higgs boson continues, but the latest update from CERN scientists is that they're on the right track.
While the Large Hadron Collider is down for maintenance and upgrade and won't be operational again until 2015, scientists have mountains of data to sift through.
Last summer, teams fro... |

Much of the focus of the Large Hadron Collider, at least as far as the outside world sees it, has been on the Higgs boson. While scientists haven't yet said that they've discovered “the” Higgs boson, they did find something very similar.
But they are looking at plenty of other things as well, and some res... |

The Higgs boson hasn't been proven conclusively yet, scientists have discovered a particle that behaves like predicted and looks, from what we've seen so far, like the particle they were expecting to find, i.e. the Higgs boson, but there may still be surprises left.
The Higgs boson is the last particle pre... |

Several months ago, the researchers at CERN announced that they had found, with significant evidence, a particle corresponding to the Higgs boson in their experiments with the Large Hadron Collider.
They didn't come out and say they discovered the Higgs boson since there was still a, very slim, chance that it w... |

In the first few billionths of a second after the Big Bang occurred, the Universe expanded many times over its original volume. All matter existed exclusively in the form of a mixture of elementary particles, called a quark-gluon soup. At this point, our particle accelerators can produce it at will.
Scientists say t... |
