A technician cycles in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in the French village of Cessy near Geneva in Switzerland April 15, 2013. As hundreds of engineers and workers start two years of work to fit out the giant LHC particle collider to reach deep into unknown realms of nature, CERN physicists look to the vast machine to unveil by the end of the decade the nature of the mysterious dark matter that makes up a quarter of the universe and perhaps find new dimensions of space.

London: Scientists studying data from the Large Hadron Collider who announced the possible discovery of the 'God particle' - Higgs boson - now say they may have actually found not one, but two previously unknown particles.
The most recent release from the Atlas experiment at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) showed the scientists seem to have found one Higgs boson with one mass, and then another with a statistically significant slightly higher mass, the Daily Mail reported.
HOLD FOR RELEASE UNTIL 12:01 A.M. CDT. THIS PHOTO MAY NOT BE PUBLISHED, BROADCAST OR POSTED ONLINE BEFORE 12:01 A.M. CDT - In this Oct. 4, 2012 photo, University of Iowa physics professor Yasar Onel poses in one of his test labs at Van Allen Hall in Iowa City, Iowa. Onel helped lead a team of researchers who worked on the Large Hadron Collider's Compact Muon Solenoid. As policymakers face pressure to cut the budget deficit, they could look to the billions the federal government spends each year on research projects, many of which are on university campuses.
