Scientists predicted this weekend that sighting of the first strong signs of a particle vital to support Einstein's ideas on the working of the universe will be reported Tuesday by the CERN physics research center.

The most successful antimatter experiment to date puts us closer than ever to understanding the Big Bang.

(AP) -- The world's biggest particle physics lab on Tuesday played down claims of a major discovery, after a leaked memo hinting that the elusive Higgs boson - or 'God particle' - may have been found ricocheted around science websites.

Researchers at CERN in Geneva may have figured out exactly what the universe looked like around a billionth of a second after the Big Bang.

The Register: "CERN today unveiled the upgraded grid that will support the Large Hadron Collider when the titanic particle-punisher finally kicks back into life."

As scientists began testing CERN's large hadron collider last week, hackers made a mockery of the European lab's network security.
