A Belfast physicist who helped find the Higgs boson and solve one of the greatest mysteries of the universe has been awarded an OBE as part of the Que...
Never ones to shy away from a challenge, scientists at CERN are to examine one of physics' most confounding principles - anti-gravity. Until recent...
Scientists are switching to the Dark Side as they prepare to ramp up the power at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). After capturing a species of Hig...

There are a small number of universal human languages which are very widely understood. English itself is one, the arts are another, there is sport - especially football - and there is science. The language of science, underpinned by the Scientific Method, is one of humanity's purest languages - perhaps second only to maths.
A wealth of new data has made scientists even more confident that the elusive "God particle" is in their grasp. The sub-atomic particle whose drama...
Scientists at Cern who successfully found the Higgs Boson particle earlier this year might have accidentally found two. According to data just rele...
Physicists have created what appears to be a new form of matter. Labelled "colour-glass condensate", it has been identified as a "swarm" of sub-ato...
The Higgs Boson - the particle which gives other particles mass - was discovered at Cern last week… wasn't it? Well, at least one group of scient...
The retired professor who gave his name to the elusive "God particle" that scientists believe they have found said today it was "very nice to be right...
A physicist has started an online petition to change the name of hated font Comic Sans to 'Comic Cerns' after it was used in the Powerpoint presentati...
And what a week it's been. Megabus - our favourite of all the Transformers - was the subject of a terrorist threat by a Pot Noodle/e-cigarette/rolled-...
Researchers at Cern may have made one of the most important announcements in scientific history on Wednesday, but not everyone was happy about it - in...
Particle physicists are usually fairly reserved and cautious – but the discovery of the Higgs boson has led to some fairly excitable reactions from ...
Cern scientists announced on Wednesday that they’ve finally – after a 45-year search – found the elusive Higgs boson particle, which gives matte...
Scientists announcing the discovery of the Higgs boson particle at Cern have slightly marred the most significant scientific advance in 40 years by ch...
Scientists believe they have captured the elusive "God particle" that gives matter mass and holds the universe together. Researchers from the CMS a...
The Higgs Boson – or God particle – was named after Edinburgh University’s Professor Peter Higgs, who predicted it to fill in a gap in scientist...
The search for the God particle is a key task for the Large Hadron Collider, which straddles the borders of France and Switzerland. It was designed...
The attendance of a certain Peter Higgs at the Cern progress report on the hunt for the fabled ‘God particle’ has led to fevered speculation that,...
Large Hadron Collider scientists including a group from the UK believe they have detected their first new subatomic particle. Known as Chi (the Gre...
Physicists at Cern, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, have announced new evidence hinting towards - although not quite confirming - the ...
Scientists are expected to reveal "significant progress" in the search for the so-called "God particle", but will not be able to say whether it exists...
The physics of the future is being forged now. Out of the wreckage of old theories, which we knew were incomplete, will come something new. What a wonderful time to be going into science.
Large Hadron Collider researchers have shown off what may be the facility's first "new physics" outside our current understanding of the Universe. ...
