The higgs boson
The Higgs boson is an elementary particle in the Standard Model of particle physics. The large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland, was designed specially to be able to either confirm or exclude the existence of the Higgs.
The collider
One hundred meters (or about 328 feet) underground, beneath the border between France and Switzerland, there's a circular machine that might reveal to us the secrets of the universe. Or, according to some people, it could destroy all life on Earth instead. One way or another, it's the world's largest machine and it will examine the universe's tiniest particles. It's the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
