The story goes that Nobel Prize-winning physicist Leon Lederman referred to the Higgs as the "Goddamn Particle." The nickname was meant to poke fun at how difficult it was to detect the particle.

The nickname "God particle" comes from the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Leon Lederman's book in 1993 "The Goddamn Particle: If the Universe Is the Answer, What Is the Question?" The name was ...

Scientists have spotted the heaviest antimatter nucleus ever detected lurking in a particle accelerator. The antimatter heavyweight, called antihyperhydrogen-4, is made up of an antiproton ...

Leon Lederman, who had won the Nobel prize in physics five years earlier, even referred to the Higgs boson as “the goddamn particle,” and wanted to use that as the title of a book he was ...

Commissioned by the ATLAS Experiment at CERN, artist Josef Kristofoletti creates a three-story mural of that goddamn particle you’ve been hearing so much about.

An experiment with a single electron, trapped for months on end, produced one of the most precise tests yet of the standard model of particle physics.

Chinese scientists say they have "teleported" a photon particle from the ground to a satellite orbiting 1,400km (870 miles) away. For many, however, teleportation evokes something much more exotic.

In the development of particle physics, researchers have introduced an innovative particle encoding mechanism that promises to improve how information in particle physics is digitally registered ...
