The Swiss particle physics organization European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) announced on Thursday, December 22, 2011, that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has discovered a boson called Chi-b(3P).

  A December 13, 2011 press release from CERN states that if the Higgs boson exists, then its mass resides within a constrained range.

Preliminary data from the ATLAS experiment at CERN suggests the Higgs Boson has been identified.  

A clever design and a great looking car - the description of Holden’s latest car to roll off its Adelaide production line today - as the federal government heralds a new era for Australia’s first carmaker.

Want to see protons collide and, maybe even find the sought-after Higgs boson and become famous (though, probably not). Well, you can do a lot of these things with the new Large Hadron Collider app from Google.

Ford and SunPower Corp have combined to harness the power of the sun in a rooftop system designed to power the Focus Electric

U.S. engineers at Duke University have developed a new type of metamaterial that allows them to control light in a similar way that we control electrical currents within electronic devices. Their experiments could eventually lead to the replacement of electrical components with those based on optical technologies.

Scientists from Japan and Europe have used a CERN experiment to measure the mass of the antiproton to an accuracy of about one part in a billion. Such an experiment helps scientists to research the relationship of matter and antimatter in the universe.

The Higgs boson is being diligently tracked down at the European particle physics laboratory called the Large Hadron Collider. On Friday, the LHC researchers announced they saw some funny looking bumps in their data that might be a sign of the particle.

A U.S. company uses three-dimensional printing to create successive layers of materials. This additive manufacturing technology could be considered a very rudimentary form of the Star Trek replicator.

For the first time, Australian researchers have been able to control the generation of voltage and current within piezoelectric thin films by applying pressure to a device.  

Scientists from the Massachusetts General Hospital have developed the first laser that works from a living cell emitting green laser light. And, the cell lived to tell about its experiences.

Scientists working with the ALPHA Experiment at CERN have accomplished what no one else has been able to do before: trap antimatter (specifically, anti-hydrogen) for at least 1,005 seconds.

After a ten-year study of the not-quite-so-simple electron, scientists at Imperial College London stated that the electron's shape is almost a perfect sphere.

A University of Missouri professor of engineering has developed a solar panel that collects up to 95% of the sunlight that falls on it. Traditional solar panels absorb only about 20%, which is very inefficient. These nantennas could one day make very inexpensive solar panels.

If Google gets its way, the state of Nevada will allow self-driving cars, or autonomous automobiles, on its public roads, possibly by June 2011.

Japanese engineers and scientists are working on a better way to ignite the engines of cars. In the future spark plugs may be replaced with tiny laser beams.

Based on a leaked note, rumours are flying that the ATLAS detector at the LHC has detected the Higgs Boson.  Experts are sceptical.

With a new movie beginning production, Ford designers have taken the opportunity to reimagine a technical revamp of the classic Mad Max Ford Interceptor, with electrifying results.

The U.S. Navy and Jefferson Lab are teaming up in the development of a new type of laser that is so powerful it can burn through 200 feet of steel in one second. It now holds a new record in sustained voltage capacity.
