New Particle ‘Looking More And More Like A Higgs Boson’
Last July, scientists announced that had discovered what they strongly believed to be the Higgs Boson — but quirks in the data suggested that might not be the case. Now, however, CERN has announced that the observed particle is “looking more and more like a Higgs boson”.
The Large Hadron Collider Just Started On A Two-Year Vacation
The Large Hadron Collider has been pretty busy lately, probably discovering the Higgs Boson, and definitely not destroying the world and whatnot. It’s probably earned a little time off, right? You bet it has, which is why it’s going down for a two-year nap.
LHC Experiments Suggest A Second Higgs Boson. That, Or Someone Forgot To Clean The Accelerator
The Higgs Boson is easily one of the most exciting discoveries made by science in recent times. Hopefully you saved some of that excitement for the second Higgs-like particle, which CERN may or may not have discovered. It really depends on how much they’ve had to drink, apparently.

Science Is Awesome: CERN Shows The Higgs Boson Is Real
Well, that went even better than we had dared hope. CERN has confirmed that its experiments so far have demonstrated the existence of the Higgs boson, which in turn suggests that the fundamental model of physics is accurate. Suck on that, science deniers!
