It will be interesting to see when does the Higgs Boson passes on its title of “God Particle” to other more fundamental particle
THE STANDARD MODEL OF QUANTUM PHYSICS
Physicists found that 4 fundamental particles/fields describe all matter. But then they found each of these had a mirror set of two extra particles, which differed with them only and only in mass. For example, Electron had a mirror set of Muon and Tau, both of which were identical to Electron in all respects but mass. The reason for this remains elusive till date. Hence, the Physicists had to settle at 12 fundamental particles/fields rather than 4. [As of now, neutrinos are not known to be a part of human body].
These 12 FF (fundamental fields) interact with each other through 4 FFC (fundamental force carriers). These are the Gluon-field (for Strong nuclear force), the W & Zee-boson filed (for weak nuclear force), the photon-boson field (for ElectroMagnetic force) and the Graviton-field (postulated), for Gravitational force.

Finally, there is this 17th fundamental particle/field called Higgs-boson. It is to be responsible for providing mass to other fundamental particles.
Note that an Electron acquires a charge when it interacts with EM field, i.e a photon. Similarly, it acquires mass when it interacts with the Higgs-boson.

THE CERN
From the small Cathode Ray Tube of Rutherford to the huge 27 KM tube, we have come a long way. Today, the CERN facility has become the centre for deciphering the universe (CERN is an acronym for the French “Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire”, or European Council for Nuclear Research. It was founded in 1952-54).
ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS). LHC is the Large Hadron Collider. Know all about ATLAS directly from its webpage here.
CERN has 23 member countries, of which only Israel is from outside Europe. India is an Associate member, as are Pakistan, Turkey, etc. Today, about 600 institutions across the world use CERN facilities. About 5000 physicists from about 181 institutions in 38 countries around the world participate in ATLAS experiments. Click next to take a virtual tour of ATLAS.

DARK MATTER & DARK ENERGY
Visible matter – everything from pollen to stars and galaxies – accounts for roughly 15% of the total mass of the Universe. The remaining 85% is made of something entirely different from things we can touch and see: dark matter. Despite overwhelming evidence from the observation of gravitational effects, the nature of dark matter and its composition remain unknown.
How can physicists study dark matter beyond gravitational effects if it is practically invisible? Three different approaches are pursued: indirect detection with astronomical observatories, searching for the decay products of dark-matter annihilation in galactic centres; direct detection with highly sensitive low-background experiments, looking for dark matter scattering off nuclei; and by creating dark matter in the controlled laboratory environment of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN.

1. New particle (tetra-quark) discovered at CERN
A tetraquark, in particle physics, is an exotic meson composed of four valence quarks. A tetraquark state has long been suspected to be allowed by quantum chromodynamics, the modern theory of strong interactions.
