The Higgs boson, discovered at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012, plays a central role in the Standard Model of particle physics, endowing elementary particles such as quarks with mass ...

But Peter Higgs quickly realized that this strange new quantum field had some other amazing properties. The field didn’t just interact with electromagnetism and the weak nuclear force. It also ...

The Higgs boson is frequently referred to as "the God particle" due to its purported role in initiating the "Big Bang" event which formed our universe long ago, according to CBS.

In 1964, Peter Higgs 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 ...

Without the Higgs boson to give matter mass and weight, there could be no Standard Model universe. The particle is part of many theoretical equations underpinning scientists’ understanding of ...

Peter Higgs, the shy, somewhat reclusive physicist who won a Nobel Prize for his theoretical work on how the Higgs boson gives elementary particles their mass, has died at the age of 94.

Professor Peter Higgs has died aged 94. The theoretical physicist was best known for his prediction of a key elementary particle, the Higgs boson, which earned him the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics ...

They spoke to Matthew Kenzie, who Weiss says was "on the team that discovered the Higgs Boson particle", and Bobak Ferdowsi, a flight engineer at Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Last week, physicists working with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) particle-smasher at CERN, in Europe, reported that they had detected a Higgs boson decaying into a Z boson particle and a photon ...

When it was first discovered in 2012, the Higgs boson captured the popular imagination and became the subject of intense scientific scrutiny. One way scientists knew for sure that the object they ...
