Reports on the decision of CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, to dismantle the Large Electron Positron Collider (LEP). How the LEP will be replaced by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC); How researchers were searching for the Higgs boson, the particle thought to give all other particles their mass; Competition to find the Higgs with Fermilab.

Reports that the Large Electron Positron Collider (LEP) at CERN particle physics laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland, will run for an extra month as of September, 2000. Decision made by CERN director general Luciano Maiani to allow for further experiments on the decays of Higgs boson; Construction of the Large Hadron Collider when the LEP is shut down.

Reports on unusual events at the CERN particle physics laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland, which may mark the appearance of the Higgs boson, which is postulated to give particles their mass. Lack of evidence to conclude whether the Higgs boson actually did appear; Question as to whether the Large Electron Positron Collider (LEP), which produced these events and is scheduled to close down at the end of September, should be kept running.

The article discusses an experiment on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European particle physics laboratory CERN in Geneva, Switzerland which ruled out vast ranges of potential masses for the Higgs boson. It points out that Higgs boson, which was hypothesized in the 1960s solves the problem of giving particles inertia and mass. It indicates that the LHC is quickly overtaking the Tevatron which will shut down in September 2011.

The article focuses on research conducted by the ALPHA team at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) near Geneva, Switzerland to prove that they had trapped an antihydrogen atom. The November 2010 research conducted by the ALPHA team resulted with the team trapping antihydrogen atoms for 0.172 seconds. The view of Ryugo Hayano, leader of the competing Atomic Spectroscopy and Collisions Using Slow Antiprotons (ASACUSA) experiment at CERN, on the research is mentioned.

The article focuses on the predictions of some physicists regarding the formation of black holes through the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) near Geneva, Switzerland. Predictions include the explanation of black hole formation based on Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity and the computation of gravitational collapse between colliding particles by physicist Matthew Choptuik. It concludes that a computer model can show the potential of a specific collision to make black hole.

The article reports on the installation of the last magnet for the world's new highest-energy particle smasher, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), in Geneva, Switzerland. The collider is capable of smashing protons into protons at unprecedented energies. The LHC could also produce particles of dark matter.
