Scientists at CERN, home of the world's largest particle smasher, have today announced their discovery of a particle that could turn out to be the elusive Higgs boson. In physics, the Higgs boson is the last remaining piece of the puzzle according to the Standard Model - a theory as to how the universe works at the elementary level. In the 60s, Peter Higgs, along with a team of physicists, detailed a theoretical particle that's responsible for giving all matter mass, dubbed the Higgs Boson.
