With instruments offering “ tantalizing hints ” in support of the Higgs boson, the elementary particle thought to endow matter with mass, we stand at a singular moment in time for physics.

Scientific American editors Mark Fischetti and Michael Moyer discuss some of the sessions they attended at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

By Eugenie Samuel Reich of Nature magazine A hint of the Higgs boson , the missing piece in the standard model of particle physics, has been found in data collected by the Tevatron, the now-shuttered U.S.

(PhysOrg.com) -- New measurements announced today by scientists from the CDF and DZero collaborations at the Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory indicate that the elusive Higgs boson may nearly be cornered.

(PhysOrg.com) -- Just as firemen use different methods to narrow the location of a person trapped in a building, scientists employ two techniques to find the hiding place of the theorized Higgs particle: direct searches for Higgs interactions and precision measurements of other particles and forces.

Fermilab Set to Reveal “Interesting” Higgs Boson Results [More]

Back in December 2011, the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN presented some exciting results that provided tantalising hints of the Higgs boson.

What does it say about particle physics that the Higgs boson has generated so much hullaballoo lately? Physicists at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland have reportedly glimpsed “ tantalizing hints ” of the Higgs, which might confer mass to quarks, electrons and other building blocks of our world. Not actual “evidence,” mind you, but “hints” of evidence

What does it say about particle physics that the Higgs boson has generated so much hullaballoo lately? Physicists at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland have reportedly glimpsed “ tantalizing hints ” of the Higgs, which might confer mass to quarks, electrons and other building blocks of our world.

GENEVA--The two largest collaborations of physicists in history Tuesday presented intriguing but tentative clues to the existence of the Higgs boson , the elementary particle thought to endow ordinary matter with mass.

(PhysOrg.com) -- Two experiments at the Large Hadron Collider have nearly eliminated the space in which the Higgs boson could dwell, scientists announced in a seminar held at CERN today. However, the ATLAS and CMS experiments see modest excesses in their data that could soon uncover the famous missing piece of the physics puzzle.

On December 13, CERN will release the results of a new data analysis in the search for the Higgs boson. at the LHC. As I was reporting my article, which appeared today , on December 7 I spoke on the phone with Joe Lykken, a Fermilab staff theoretical physicist

By Edwin Cartlidge of Nature magazine This year's hunt for the Higgs boson is drawing to a close. [More]

(PhysOrg.com) -- Want to find out how to Hunt the Higgs Boson using your phone?

Underneath a relict patch of illinois prairie, complete with a small herd of grazing buffalo, protons and antiprotons whiz along in opposite paths around a four-mile-long tunnel.
