A $2 billion experiment on the International Space Station is on the verge of explaining one of the more mysterious building blocks of the universe: the dark matter that helps hold the cosmos together. An international team of scientists says the cosmic ray detector has found the first hint of dark matter, which has never yet been directly observed. ...

Physicists say they are now confident they have discovered a long-sought subatomic particle known as a Higgs boson. The European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, says a look at all the data from 2012 shows that what they found last year was a version of what is popularly referred to as the 'God particle'. ...

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...

Geneva: One of the two independent teams at the world's biggest atom smasher said Wednesday it has found strong evidence of a new subatomic particle that looks like the one believed to give all matter in the universe size and shape. Joe Incandela, leader of one of the teams known as CMS, told scientists at the European Center for Nuclear Research, or CERN, that his team of 2,100 scientists has...

Batavia: Physicists at a US laboratory said on Monday they have come tantalizingly close to proving the existence of the elusive subatomic Higgs boson - often called the "God particle" because it may bring mass and order to the universe. The announcement by the Fermi National Accelerator Lab outside Chicago came two days before physicists at CERN, the European particle accelerator near Geneva, are set to unveil their own findings...

London: Physicist Stephen Hawking has signed up to make a cameo appearance in US sitcom 'The Big Bang Theory', reports contactmusic.com. "When people would ask us who a 'dream guest star' for the show would be, we would always joke and say Stephen Hawking - knowing that it was a long shot of astronomical proportions. "In fact, we're not exactly sure how we got him. It's the kind of mystery...

Geneva: CERN physicists have moved the focus of their search for the Higgs boson, the particle many think gave the universe form after the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago, to a narrow band on the mass spectrum, a spokesman said on Wednesday. And science bloggers close to the research center are suggesting it might be clear by mid-December that the boson is a chimera and some other mechanism to...

London: Astronomers have uncovered the 'missing link' in the evolution of the universe following the Big Bang. For years the scientists knew nothing about the 'dark ages' of space - a period between the Big Bang, 13.7 billion years ago, and the creation of the first stars. But Cambridge University researchers have now captured light emitted from a massive black hole to peer into this unknown portion of the history...
