FILTER RESULTS ►The Higgs Boson and a 'New Physics' --"Could Make the Speed of Light Possible"
Scientists hailed CERN's confirmation of the Higgs Boson in July of 2012, speculating that it could one day make light speed travel possible by "un-massing" objects or allow huge items to be launched into space by "switching off" the Higgs....
The top 40 physics hits of 2012
The Higgs boson is a popular subject among the most-cited physics papers of 2012, but a particle simulation manual takes the top spot. Think of it as a particle physics version of pop radio's “top 40” countdown: INSPIRE, a database of...Show More Summary
Steve Jobs Created The Computer That Gave Us The World Wide Web
CERN has given us many things in our day, most notable among them recent proof of the existence of the so-called ‘God particle’, the Higgs Boston… one of the most elusive objects in particle physics. But like the Higgs Boson, most of CERN’s achievements are pretty exotic. On April 30 in 1993, though, CERN gave [...]Show More Summary

Quick links from the past week in mind and brain news: Psychiatry needs its Higgs boson moment says and article in New Scientist which describes some interesting but disconnected findings suggesting it ‘aint going to get it soon. Wall Street Journal has an overenthusiastic article on how advances in genetics and neuroscience are ‘revolutionizing’ our [...]
A Pushing Daisies star will be the villain in Guardians of the Galaxy!
Shane Black explains why the Mandarin is the "über-terrorist" in Iron Man 3. Dan Aykroyd is excited again about Ghostbusters 3, and this time the Higgs boson is involved. Matthew McConaughey has some more cryptically chill things to say about Interstellar. There's tons of info about the Arrow season finale. Spoiler alert! Read more...
Snubbed scientist wants to rename the Higgs boson
When it comes to the theory of the Higgs boson, British physicist Peter Higgs gets all the love. But that’s not fair, says Carl Hagen, arguing that he and four other scientists deserve just as much credit. The time has come, he says, to officially rename the so-called God particle. Read more...
When is a Higgs not a Higgs?
One of the scientists who worked on the development of the Higgs boson theory has backed calls for it to be given a name reflecting more than just one man. The debate comes a few weeks after CERN announced it had only one remaining variable to eliminate before confirming that the particle discovered through the [...]
Scientists Push to Give Higgs New Name
Amid rumors that this year's Nobel Prize for Physics will go to the Higgs boson theory, some scientists say the particle's name should be changed so that all the glory doesn't go to British physicist Peter Higgs. At a press conference last year to announce the particle's discovery, Higgs "was...

Atheist Physicist Denounces 'God Particle' Nickname for Higgs Boson
Peter Higgs, the physicist who introduced the theory behind a subatomic particle now known as the Higgs boson, says he is against calling the boson a "God particle" partly because he is an atheist.
This $2B Cosmic Ray Detector Is Unravelling the Secrets of the Universe
Finding the Higgs Boson particle is a revolutionary scientific discovery, sure, but CERN isn't the only scientific body rewriting our understanding of elementary physics. An international team of researchers have just announced that the massive cosmic ray detector protruding from the ISS may have at long last detected dark matter. More »
Cern begins LHC upgrade to boost dark matter search
The £70m revamp of the particle accelerator, which last year helped scientists discover the Higgs Boson, will allow it to smash protons together at twice its current energy.This improvement will enable scientists to probe heavier and...Show More Summary
CERN begins LHC upgrade, to hopefully ‘change our understanding of the universe’
Following the discovery of what appears to be the Higgs boson, CERN's Large Hadron Collider has been shut down so that it can be upgraded. If all goes the plan, the upgrades will almost double the power of the LHC, enabling the particle accelerator to carry out the second part of its primary mission: proving or disproving the existence of supersymmetry.

Cosmos Study Dashes Hope for New Neutrino
First particle physicists discovered “a boring old Standard Model Higgs boson,” as my colleague Michael Moyer put it, meaning that the particle hewed closely to theoretical predictions and offered little in the way of guidance to new and exciting physics. This week the European Space Agency’s Planck satellite gave a significant boost to cosmology’s own [...]
Morgan Freeman Visited The Large Hadron Collider — Where They Found The God Particle
