The BBC is reporting that those clever people at CERN may have found the evidence for the existence of the Higgs boson.
BBC News - Cern scientist expects 'first glimpse' of Higgs boson
Incidentally the Large Hadron Collider at CERN may be one of the few scientific projects whose most important spin-off came before it was even built and long before this discovery (if it is confirmed). In case you didn't know, Tim Berners-Lee and his colleagues at CERN developed the concepts behind the Internet to handle the mass of data produced by 'big machines' like the LHC.
