EXCERPT: Last year, CERN announced that it had discovered a new elementary particle, the Higgs particle, also long known as the 'God particle.' Now, scientists are taking a second look at the finding and believe that this particle wasn't the Higgs particle at all and may just look like it.
[...] "We believe that it may be a so-called techni-higgs particle," said Frandsen. "This particle is in some ways similar to the Higgs particle-hence half of the name."
A techni-higgs particle isn't an elementary particle. Instead, it's made up of techni-quarks, which are elementary. Techni-quarks can bind together to form, for example, techni-higgs. Other combinations can, in theory, form dark matter. And if techni-quarks do exist, then that means that there must be a new type of force to bind them together, named the Technicolor force....
