CERN finds evidence of the Higgs boson (what's next, Star Trek artificial gravity?)
It's the 4th of July and let me tell you, CERN sure does know how to make a bang! In Geneva, Switzerland, CERN announced at a seminar - a precursor to the International Conference on High Energy Physics (ICHEP2012) - that it has found clear signs of a new particle thought to be the Higgs boson - the mass particle.
