Researchers Close in on Elusive 'God Particle'

Researchers Close in on Elusive 'God Particle': "A picture starts to emerge from the fog.

Two of the world's greatest particle smashers announced tantalizing hints that the Higgs boson -- or 'God Particle' -- may soon be within reach, a breakthrough find that could either make or break our model of the universe as we know it.

Again, no one is shouting eureka just yet, but taken together, collision data from the Large Hadron Collider and the Tevatron suggest scientists may have seen the first glimpses of the elusive Higgs particle, the grand prize of physics."
