| Reports that the Large Hadron Collider had detected the first possible signs of the elusive Higgs boson particle were "wrong", experts have said.
Last month, an internal memo outlining a possible signal from the Higgs picked up at the LHC was leaked on to the web.
But cross-checks of the data collected by the Atlas experiment have since found no signal.
The details were revealed during a talk by senior officials at the Royal Society in London.
The Higgs boson is of huge importance to the widely accepted theory of physics, known as the Standard Model.
It is the sub-atomic particle which explains why all other particles have mass, but no-one, so far, has detected it.
The result which had been under discussion originated with four members of the Atlas collaboration.
Atlas is one of two "multi-purpose" experiments at the LHC designed to search for the Higgs, and some 3,000 physicists are working on the project.
