The end of the universe could, theoretically, have already begun. The Higgs Boson is a subatomic particle that is crucial for a stable universe. If it became destabilized, it could create chaos in the ...

Physicists have plans for the future of the Higgs boson. July 4, 2013— -- One year ago, several hours before cities across the United States started their annual fireworks displays, a different ...

The nature of dark matter continues to perplex astronomers. As the search for dark matter particles continues to turn up nothing, it’s tempting to throw out the dark matter model altogether, but ...
