Higgs boson excitement: Almost palpable (+video)
Scientists hope to report the discovery of the Higgs boson particle by the end of 2012. Such a discovery would help explain the composition of the universe.

Physicists edge closer to 'God particle' discovery (+video)
Scientists in Europe and the United States indicate that they have strong evidence for the existence of the so-called God particle, the Higgs Boson, which, if discovered, would help explain why matter has mass.

'God particle' data falls short of proof, say Fermilab researchers (+video)
Physicists at the Fermi National Accelerator Lab say they have strong evidence of the existence of the Higgs boson, the so-called God particle that could explain the existence of mass. But their evidence falls short of absolute proof, they say.

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.

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.
