Scientists at the European particle physics laboratory in Switzerland believe they have seen a hint of the so-called God particle Link to video: Higgs boson: Cern scientists may have glimpsed 'God particle' Scientists believe they may have caught their first glimpse of the Higgs boson , the so-called God particle that is thought to underpin the subatomic workings of nature. Physicists Fabiola Gianotti and Guido Tonelli were applauded by hundreds of scientists yesterday as they revealed evidence for the particle amid the debris of hundreds of trillions of proton collisions inside the Large Hadron Collider at Cern , the European particle physics laboratory near Geneva.

Squeezed light a small step forward toward detecting gravitational waves
They stand as the last great prediction of general relativity: gravitational waves. They haven't been detected yet, but it seems almost unthinkable for them not to exist. Detecting them though... that is what might be described as a tough problem.
Speed-of-light results under scrutiny at Cern
23 September 2011 Last updated at 13:03 ET By Jason Palmer Science and technology reporter, BBC News Enormous underground detectors are needed to catch neutrinos, that are so elusive as to be dubbed "ghost particles" A meeting at Cern, the world's largest physics lab, has addressed results that suggest subatomic particles have gone faster than the speed of light.

Thirty-one atomic fission weapons, weapon prototypes, or experimental devices were fired in Nevada from January 1951 to January 1955. All were relatively small in explosive power. They ranged from less than one kiloton up to considerably less than 100 kilotons.
