All you need to know about the Higgs Boson particle

So what is the Higgs boson, the elusive particle that physicists Peter Higgs and Francois Englert theorized about and won the Nobel Prize for on Tuesday?

Higgs boson particle discoverers get Asturias Award

Peter Higgs and François Englert formulated in 1964 the existence of the subatomic Higgs boson particle, but its existence was only confirmed by CERN in 2012.

Here's why the discovery of Higgs boson matters

Scientists working at the world's biggest atom smasher near Geneva have announced they are confident that the new subatomic particle discovered last summer is a version of the long-sought Higgs boson. Here's all you need to know.

How a Higgs Boson can spell doom for the universe

The mass of the so called 'God particle', uncovered at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva, is a key ingredient in a calculation that signals the future of space and time.

Scientists may have found unexpected second Higgs Boson

The most recent release from CERN showed the scientists seem to have found one Higgs boson with one mass, and then another with a statistically significant slightly higher mass.
