They found the Higgs boson, but there might be five more!

Anomalous results in particle physics experiments could be a hint to the existence of another five Higgs bosons, calculations have shown. In the sixties Peter Higgs predicted the existence of a scalar particle of the Higgs field, and estimated it would be very heavy: it took decades for a particle collider with sufficient energy to be developed – the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) – that could, by 2012, create...
