Particle Discovery Has Physics World Buzzing

By

Researchers at Fermilab physics laboratory in Batavia, Ill. using an atom smasher known as the Tevatron may have made an exciting discovery. The find, if it can be validated, can have major implications on high-energy physics and cosmology. Specifically, they may have identified a new particle which would be the first time since 1995 that a new one has been discovered. And it all started with a big bang…

In a development physicists are calling “huge,” “tantalizing” and “unexpected,” researchers have measured a signal that could herald a new kind of particle or force of nature. But the finding is not yet conclusive, and leaves many researchers skeptical.
