Scientists and engineers at CERN, the new particle accelerator near Geneva, have announced the development of a CCD (charged coupled device) camera capable of photographing events that last as little as one femtosecond. A femtosecond event lasts 10-15 seconds and it is hoped that this new technology will someday allow CERN scientists to detect the elusive Higgs boson.

From the Journal Nature, October 1997, Dr. Yakawa.
The Higgs boson is a hypothetical massive scalar elementary particle predicted to exist by the Standard Model of particle physics. It is the only Standard Model particle not yet observed, but would help explain how otherwise massless elementary particles still manage to construct mass in matter. In particular, it would explain the difference between the massless photon and the relatively massive W and Z bosons. Elementary particle masses, and the differences between electromagnetism (caused by the photon) and the weak force (caused by the W and Z bosons), are critical to many aspects of the structure of microscopic (and hence macroscopic) matter; thus, if it exists, the Higgs boson has an enormous effect on the world around us.

“This opens a whole new world of exploration for us.” Says PHD Orwell Phillips, the director of the team that invented the new ultra-high speed photographic technology. “In addition to capturing a collision event that proves the existence of Higgs, it is hoped that one day the technology will be improved enough to allow us to capture and record events of smaller and smaller durations. Perhaps one day, with enough effort and continued funding, we might even be able to photograph a woman with her mouth shut.”

this should go under humor section I think.
btw, it was funny.
