Written by: William AtkinsA subatomic particle so important it has been nicknamed the "God particle" has (possibly) been discovered by scientists at the European research center CERN.
{loadposition william08}The Higgs boson is a subatomic particle that is also commonly called the God particle.

I wanted to get this post up last night and now I can't even locate the original article I wanted to link to.
Officials at CERN have announced the date in which the beginning of the physics program will begin at the Large Hadron Collider. In other words, the first collisions of two oppositely-directed particle beams with energies of 3.5 TeV per beam will be attempted, for a combined energy of 7 tera-electron volts (TeV).
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.

This is my favorite one so far, it's a very entertaining physics based wallpaper. Each particle attracts other particles
when in range, which in turn affects each particles velocity and direction.
The world's biggest particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider, is up and running with Linux in charge.

It looks like Apple acquired Justin Timberlake-backed web apps company Particle last month — maker of social video service robo.to, and a design UI/UX and HTML5 web app consultancy whose clients include Google, Motorola, Sony and Zynga. CNET called the acquisition today, citing “sources with knowledge of the deal”.
A worldwide network of data centers played a key role in CERN's discovery of what may be the long-sought Higgs boson, or "God particle," thought to be part of the explanation for why matter has mass.
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).
