Confirmed! Newfound Particle Is a Higgs Boson Physicists announced on July 4, 2012, that, with more than 99 percent certainty, they had found a new elementary particle weighing about 126 times the mass of the proton that was likely the long-sought Higgs boson. The Higgs is sometimes referred to as the God particle, to the chagrin of many scientists, who prefer its official name.

Top 10 subatomic surprises Neutrinos are popular among the people who award the Nobel prizes. In 1995 Fred Reines won the physics Nobel for detecting neutrinos, bizarre subatomic particles that some experts said could never be detected. In 2002, Ray Davis and Masatoshi Koshiba won for measuring how many neutrinos the sun sends to the Earth.

- One gets a sense of Crick's loquaciousness and his abilities to make a novel hypothesis by reading the controversial book, the Double Helix, written by James Watson in 1968. Those who keep their distance from Koch's work complain of its pastiche and loquaciousness, its irrepressible insistence to keep on running.

James D. Watson Biography James D. Watson is a Nobel Prize-winning biophysicist and researcher credited with co-discovering the double-helix structure of DNA. Synopsis Born on April 6, 1928, in Chicago, Illinois, James D. Watson is credited with the discovery of the double-helix structure of DNA along with Francis Crick. Watson received a 1962 Nobel Prize and went on to do work in cancer research and mapping the human genome.

Gravitational Waves Detected 100 Years After Einstein's Prediction LIGO was originally proposed as a means of detecting these gravitational waves in the 1980s by Rainer Weiss, professor of physics, emeritus, from MIT; Kip Thorne, Caltech’s Richard P. Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics, emeritus; and Ronald Drever, professor of physics, emeritus, also from Caltech.

Critically Analyzing the Discovery of âLucyâ (Australopithicus Afarensis) His conclusion that the bones shared Lucy’s species was influenced by this presupposed hypothesis, and the risk for confirmation bias could not be negated. Today, the scientific community still argues some of Johanson’s findings, a fact that serves to demonstrate the problems in his scientific methodology.ohanson’s first discovery consisted of a few pieces of a knee bone. At first, Johanson thought the knee to belong to a monkey or baboon, but it didn’t seem like it belonged to such an animal ((“In Search of Human Origins.” Nova, PBS, 3 June 1997.

Haumea (dwarf planet) Two teams claim credit for the discovery of Haumea. Mike Brown and his team at Caltech discovered Haumea in December 2004 on images they had taken on May 6, 2004. On July 20, 2005, they published an online abstract of a report intended to announce the discovery at a conference in September 2005.

Today in science: An island is born The birth of this new land form wasn’t the end of Surtsey’s story. In the first spring after Surtsey emerged from the sea surface, seeds and other plant parts were found washed up on the newly formed shore. In the spring of 1965, the first higher plant was discovered at the shoreline: a sea rocket (Cakile arctica).his date in science: Surtsey and the birth of new islands. Birth of Surtsey in 1963 via NOAA. On November 14 1963, crew aboard a trawler sailing near Iceland spotted a column of smoke rising from the sea surface. A new island was being born.

This Month in Physics History Though Rutherford still didn’t know what was in this nucleus he had discovered (protons and neutrons would be identified later), his insight in 1911, which overturned the prevailing plum pudding model of the atom, had opened the way for modern nuclear physics.

The discovery of DNA It is a common misconception that James Watson and Francis Crick discovered DNA in the 1950s. In reality, DNA was discovered decades before. It was by following the work of the pioneers before them that James and Francis were able to come to their ground-breaking conclusion about the structure of DNA in 1953.nravelling the double helix Stories The discovery of the structure of DNA by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953 is one of the most famous scientific discoveries of all time.

The Mysterious Death of Kurt Cobain Seattle, April 8, 1994, 9 a.m. An electrician named Gary Smith arrived at Kurt Cobain’s home in Seattle to install a new security system. Though there was no answer at the front door, Smith got to work. As he climbed on the roof, following wires along the garage to a room above it, he looked through a window. Inside he saw an overturned plant and what he thought was a mannequin lying beside it. When he noticed the blood, he called the police. Kurt Cobain, 27, had been missing for six days. On March 30, he had checked himself into the Exodus Recovery Center, outside L.A., seeking help for his drug problems (Cobain told a close friend that he had been “shanghaied” into treatment by Gold Mountain, the company that managed his band Nirvana).

Fifty Years of Quarks... More Particles to Discover! Fifty years ago, in 1964, physicists Murray Gell-Mann at Caltech and George Zweig at CERN came up with the idea of the quark as a response to the bewildering number of elementary particles that were being discovered at the huge atom smasher labs sprouting up all over the world.

Who Discovered DNA? Discovery of DNA-Three Main Players. This structure has novel features which are of considerable biological interest.. This statement, perhaps the most scientific understatement, appeared in April 1953 in the scientific journal Nature when Watson and Crick presented the structure of the DNA-helix.

- This discovery is huge to the scientific community because it gives validity to The Standard Model of Physics, which is authoritative theory for particle physics. The only element or particle that is part of the Standard model and hasn't been discovered is the Higgs boson, until now.

One year on from the Higgs boson find, has physics hit the buffers? Let's not forget that the Higgs boson was proposed in 1964 and it took 48 years for it to be discovered, he says. Realistic supersymmetric theories probably date back to 1973, so we've only been looking for supersymmetry for 40 years.

What Are Fundamental Particles? There is a final particle which completes the roll call of particles in what is referred as the standard model of particle physics so far described. It is the Higgs, predicted by Peter Higgs 50 years ago, and whose discovery at CERN in 2012 led to a Nobel Prize for Higgs and Francois Englert.
