While much of North America was roiling in the summer heat over the weekend, the search for the elusive Higgs boson was also heating up.
Super-chilled antihydrogen atoms have been collected and stored 5,000 times longer than any previous attempt.
The rate of particle collisions in the world's largest particle accelerator has multiplied 10-fold in the space of a month.
The search for the Higgs Boson could be over by the end of 2012.
When on the cutting edge of physics, try not to pay too much attention to internal memos.
CERN's powerful accelerator has pushed particle physics into a new, powerful era.
If you're a little hazy about the details of Wednesday's buzz surrounding the potential discovery of "new physics" in Fermilab's Tevatron particle accelerator, don't worry, you're not alone.
The Higgs boson is a wily, elusive little particle, but scientists at both Fermilab and CERN are hot on its heels.
Just after the Big Bang, the Universe's dimensions may have been completely different to the four-dimensional space-time we know and love today.
