He said the newly discovered subatomic particle is a boson, but he stopped just shy of claiming outright that it is the Higgs boson itself -- an extremely fine distinction.

The discovery of a new subatomic particle that may be the elusive Higgs boson has electrified the entire field of physics. The particle has profound implications for understanding our universe.

Modern cosmology has precisely measured the universe's properties, yet dark matter and dark energy remain profound mysteries.

In the course of exploring the properties of a strange subatomic particle, physicists may have stumbled upon an even more mysterious and exotic new form of matter.

The subatomic particle that has a negative charge is the electron. Out of the three subatomic particles that compose an atom, the electron has the smallest mass.

Why physicists really, really want to find a new subatomic particle The latest search for a new particle has fizzled. Scientists are excited, and a bit scared.
