Hints of the God Particle - the physics community is afire with rumors that the Higgs boson has at last been found. The Higgs boson is the final piece of the Standard Model, a framework that describes the interactions of all known subatomic particles and forces.
Ever since tantalizing hints of the Higgs turned up in December at the Large Hadron Collider, scientists there have been busily analyzing the results of their energetic particle collisions to further refine their search.
