New Delhi: By now, the world knows about the origin of the term Higgs boson - American physicist Peter Higgs and Indian scientist Satyendra Nath Bose. IBNLive tried to trace the nomenclature of some other subatomic particles. A quark is an elementary particle and a fundamental constituent of matter. Quarks combine to form composite particles called hadrons, the most stable of which are protons and neutrons, the components of the...

New Delhi: Satyendra Nath Bose was born on New Year's Day, 1894, in Calcutta to Surendra Nath Bose, an engineer with the East Indian Railway Company. The eldest among seven siblings, Satyendra Nath Bose, attended Hindu School, a school that had made notable contributions to the Bengal Renaissance and the Reformation movement. He made a name for himself for his mathematical prowess and his love for science. Bose, as a...

Geneva: Scientists at the world's biggest atom smasher hailed the discovery of "the missing cornerstone of physics" on Wednesday, cheering the apparent end of a decades-long quest for a new subatomic particle called the Higgs boson, or "God particle," which could help explain why all matter has mass and crack open a new realm of subatomic science. First proposed as a theory in the 1960s, the maddeningly elusive Higgs had...

Geneva: Scientists working at the world's biggest atom smasher near Geneva have announced the discovery of a new subatomic particle that looks remarkably like the long-sought Higgs boson. Sometimes called the "God particle" because its existence is fundamental to the creation of the universe, the hunt for the Higgs involved thousands of scientists from all over the world. What is the God particle anyway? School physics teaches that everything is...

Geneva: To cheers and standing ovations, scientists at the world's biggest atom smasher claimed the discovery of a new subatomic particle on Wednesday, calling it "consistent" with the long-sought Higgs boson - popularly known as the "God particle" - that helps explain what gives all matter in the universe size and shape. "We have now found the missing cornerstone of particle physics," Rolf Heuer, director of the European Center for...

New Delhi: There was jubilation in Geneva, home to the largest, most expensive experiment in history. International scientists were searching for a tiny subatomic particle, first suggested by Peter Higgs, and after half a century, they found the Higgs Boson or the God particle. "I never thought it would be found in my lifetime," said Peter Higgs expressing his happiness. While other building blocks of atoms like electrons, protons and...
