  1. So close to the God particle: Scientists say 'stay tuned'

    World Now
    Physicists have detected hints of the long-sought Higgs boson but have not yet amassed enough data for definitive proof of discovery of the so-called God particle, scientists at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, said Tuesda...

  2. Fermilab poised to hit the off switch

    The wisecrack circulating at less than light speed around Fermilab's Batavia campus is that by 2 p.m. Friday, this destination for particle physicists won't be as sexy as it once was.

  3. Maurice Goldhaber dies at 100; noted nuclear and particle physicist

    Maurice Goldhaber, one of the pioneers of modern physics whose experiments helped create the current understanding of how the world works, died May 11 at his home on Long Island, N.Y., after a short illness. He had celebrated his 100th birthday less than a month earlier.

  4. Gerson Goldhaber dies at 86; particle physicist discovered 'dark energy'

    Gerson Goldhaber, a UC Berkeley physicist who played a key role in identifying some of the fundamental particles of nature, then switched careers and helped show that the universe is expanding rather than contracting, died of natural causes at his home in Berkeley on July 19. He was 86.

  5. Atom smasher will help reveal 'the beginning'

    GENEVA (AP) -- The world's largest atom smasher threw together minuscule particles racing at unheard of speeds in conditions simulating those just after the Big Bang -- a success that kick-started a mega-billion dollar experiment that could one day explain how the universe began.

  6. Large Hadron Collider rewards scientists watching at Caltech

    The Large Hadron Collider near Geneva succeeded early Tuesday in smashing subatomic particles together at more than three times the highest levels previously recorded, eliciting cheers from a crowd watching at Caltech and pushing two sometimes-separate strains of particle physicists together in what is likely to be a show of things to come.

  7. New atom-smasher generates hope, fear

    Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
    Michelangelo L. Mangano, a respected particle physicist who helped discover the top quark in 1995, now spends most days trying to convince people that his new machine won't destroy the world. "If it were just crackpots, we could wave them away," the...

  8. OK Go set to be different

    Special to the Tribune
    With their flamboyant, sarcastic songs, OK Go fit into the oh-so-serious, willfully abstract Chicago rock scene like Jim Carrey at a particle physics seminar. "It makes it really easy to stand out. There hasn't been a lot of stuff like us," guitarist,...
