Higgs boson hunt approaching 'end game' say scientists (+video)

Higgs boson: The hunt for the elusive Higgs boson – the so-called God Particle thought to be responsible for giving objects mass – may soon come to an end, as scientists at Fermilab reported that they had glimpsed what look like signs of the particle.
Higgs boson coming into focus, say scientists (+video)

Higgs boson: The hunt for the Higgs boson, the so-called God Particle, continues. But in a study released today, scientists say they're getting closer to proving the existence of Higgs boson, but the image is 'fuzzy.'
God particle, the Higgs boson, could be found in 2012

God particle: The Higgs boson isn't just any particle. It's the linchpin of the Standard Model of particle physics theory that explains the Big Bang, because it is believed to answer a fundamental question about why matter has mass.
Higgs boson: Was the 'God particle' found?

Higgs boson, aka, the "God particle" is a subatomic particle that is presumed to bestow mass on all other particles. An internal note from physicists at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland has scientists buzzing.
America to end its search for the 'God particle'

The Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) is pulling the plug on the Tevatron, the only American particle collider capable of finding the Higgs boson, or 'God particle.'
Crab Nebula shoots off strange flares into space

Crab Nebula has provided astronomers with a steady presence in space. But, as recently as last September, gamma-ray flares emanated from the famous Crab Nebula, causing scientists to reconsider the burial ground of a dead star.
Large Hadron Collider not large enough, say scientists who want a Humongous Hadron Collider

Large Hadron Collider: Scientists are proposing a particle accelerator that is even bigger than the mammoth Large Hadron Collider.
Matter vs. antimatter: particle accelerator experiment says matter wins

New results from a particle accelerator experiment suggest that matter does seem to win in the end.
As a massive atom smasher powers up, 'Big Science' moves away from the US

The first trial of the Large Hadron Collider on Wednesday signals a shift to Europe of high-energy physics.
