Higgs boson data collected by physicists at the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) are surprisingly similar to similar batches of information collected by scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research's (CERN) Large Hadron Collider.
The LHC group... |

A collaboration of physicists at the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), in Batavia, Illinois, say that they have recently managed to establish the energy range of a subatomic particle, called the W boson, with the highest degree of accuracy currently possible.
The... |

In a paper published on December 22 in the online journal arXiv, investigators with the ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) announce the discovery of a particle that has never been observed before.
Scientists from the Lancaster University and the University of Birmingham w... |

When even the leader of the CMS experiment on the Large Hadron Collider – who is in charge of searching for the Higgs boson – says that the name God's particle is inappropriate, he reflects a widely-accepted point of view among physicists – that the name needs to be changed.
Known popularly a... |

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) particle accelerator may have discovered the Higgs boson, voices online say. The speculation was prompted by the fact that the European Organization for Nuclear Research [CERN] said that an important announcement about the particle is to be made next week.
The Higgs boson is an unconf... |

Physicists in the United States were left without access to one of the most significant installations a few days ago, when the Tevatron particle accelerator at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), in Batavia, Illinois, was closed down on September 30, 2011.
After serving the cause of modern physic... |

Thanks to unyielding efforts made by scientists operating two experiments on the world's most powerful particle accelerator, physicists are now able to say with a high degree of certainty that the prospective mass range in which the Higgs boson may be hiding is constantly shrinking.According to the scientists, t... |

A couple of weeks ago, researchers working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) announced the discovery of tantalizing clues that may indicate the Higgs boson. Physicists from around the world are now looking through the new data, hoping to confirm or infirm the discoveries. The announcement was made at a meeting of th... |

At a conference being held in Grenoble, France, experts presented a set of papers which appear to indicate that an announcement on the discovery of the Higgs boson is imminent. There is however no way to tell for sure, so only time will tell, analysts believe.The optimism sweeping through scientists comes from the La... |

New studies are beginning to paint a picture of the early Universe that experts were not expecting. The newest data would appear to indicate that the Cosmos was a lot clumpier in its earliest days than scientists first calculated based on available evidence.The information that astronomers used for the new study were... |

A newly-proposed plan calls for the Large Hadron Collider to continue its search for the Higgs boson by the end of 2012, and not 2011 as originally scheduled. In other words, physicists operating the accelerator and its detectors want to keep on searching for the elementary particle for another year.
The Higgs is ... |

For more than 20 years, a “rogue” theory in particle physics had it that a new type of elementary particle existed in the Standard Model, the current approach to explaining the basic particles around us. But, after all these years, it would now appear that evidence to confirm the existence of this particl... |

During the first summer they spent at the facility, the Arkansas team constructed a portable cosmic ray detect... |

While the most basic theories of physics help explain the world around us through rules, they also have the unsettling implication that the Universe, and naturally everything in it, should not exist. As we are aware, it does. This poses a quintessential dilemma to physicists trying to make sense of it all. At least i... |

When the W and Z bosons were proven to be the mediators of the weak nuclear force, the Standard Model of particle physics received one of the most definitive pieces of evidence in its favor. At the time, all the jigsaws to the puzzle appeared to be falling into place, and physicists were more than happy with the meas... |

Physicists at the Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) propose that the death of stars is not a process that can be fully explained using existing knowledge. They argue that a previously undiscovered type of star is formed when regular precursors die and have dubbed the new celestial object an electroweak star. The... |

The NASA Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope is at the center of a new hype recently started in the international scientific community. Some experts believe that the former Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST), which is especially suited for observing highly energetic photons coming in from pulsars, neutron stars... |

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is undoubtedly the most ambitious science project ever undertaken by people. Its purpose is to look directly at the conditions that led to the formation of everything around us, and provide a firm confirmation for the Standard Model as well. But, other than the unfounded talk of black ... |

Ever since the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was under construction, the Batavia, Illinois-based Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) began to work extra-hard on finding the elusive Higgs Boson. This elementary particle would complete and firmly prove the Standard Model in physics, which now features two cl... |

It was only last night that I finished reading Victor J. Stenger's new book, “Quantum Gods: Creation, Chaos and the Search for Cosmic Consciousness,” and, boy, I can tell you for sure that my understanding of quantum physics was a bit off before. In fact, it was not necessarily wrong, as it was featu... |

The idea that apples might fall from trees differently in the summer and in the winter may seem preposterous, but Indiana University in Bloomington (IUB) Physicist Alan Kostelecky and graduate student Jay Tasson think that the idea may not be so far-fetched. They argue that violations in Newton's law may have ea... |

Astrophysicists believe that the new experiments that will be facilitated by the Large Hadron Collider once it's repaired will finally offer them a glimpse at and, why not, a confirmation of the fact that supersymmetry exists. This concept refers to the fact that subatomic particles, as described in the Standard... |

This hypothetical form of energy is supposed to fill all the space and it continuously pushes its elements apart, increasing the universe's expansion rate. It is one of the most important things that LHC scientists are eager to prove. The standard model of cosmology claims that the universe is comprised 74%... |

Strange, but true nonetheless. The Standard Model represents a theory that incorporates all the characteristics of the material which makes up the universe we live in. There is only one problem though, out of the four elementary forces exerted between interacting matter, the Standard Model only describes three of the... |

They say the string theory is not real science, but merely a science fiction description of the universe. This is mostly due to one thing: the string theory makes predictions than cannot be tested in real life, thus it cannot be proven and is falsifiable. For example, the string theory proposes that elementary partic... |

The universe mush have had some kind of beginning no doubt about that, thus the Big Bang model has been proposed as the simplest theory to explain the processes which took place in the first stages of the universe's life. Though physicists can approximate exactly what happed inside the universe just a few fracti... |

String Theory supporters argue that the universe we live in has eleven dimensions, out of which three spacial dimensions and a temporal one, which define the void and the space-time environment we experience daily. Some of you might say 'Well, the real world we live in has only four dimensions'. That may b... |

For years now, the Standard Model has been used by physicists as the main theory in studying the universe. After the electric and the magnetic mixed into the electromagnetic force, and after the release of Einstein's theory of relativity, scientists tried to unify the remaining forces - gravity, strong nuclear f... |
