The Higgs boson is a fundamental particle discovered on July 4, 2012, by researchers at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) located at CERN, Switzerland.

Higgs predicted the existence of the Higgs boson particle, helping explain how matter formed after the Big Bang. His death at 94 was announced by the University of Edinburgh, where he was a professor.

The discovery of the Higgs boson – or "God particle" – was monumental. The particle gives matter mass and holds the physical fabric of the universe together.

Nobel prize-winning physicist Peter Higgs, who in 1964 accurately predicted the existence of the Higgs boson "God particle," has reportedly died after a brief illness. He was 94.

Higgs predicted the existence of a new particle the so-called Higgs boson in 1964. But it would be almost 50 years before the particles existence could be confirmed at the Large Hadron Collider.

In 1964, he theorised the existence of the Higgs Boson, a fundamental force-carrying particle associated with the Higgs field. The Higgs field is a quantum field that gives mass to particles and ...

The Large Hadron Collider is one of the biggest experiments in history, but it’s also one of the hardest to interpret. Unlike ...

This month marks the 10th anniversary of the discovery of the Higgs boson, a true “Holy Grail” of science that had eluded detection for almost 50 years.But what exactly is this particle, and ...

The Higgs boson is a spin-zero particle. Spin is an intrinsic quantum-mechanical property of a particle, often pictured as an internal bar magnet.

The Higgs Boson Particle Turns 10 Today. Here’s How It Changed Physics A decade of observations and analysis provides our best understanding of the so-called "God particle".
