The discovery of the Higgs Boson in 2012 signalled the need for physicists to begin exploring physics beyond parameters they were used to. Higgs spent 50 years of his life searching for a single particle – Higgs Boson – that gives almost all other particles their mass
The professor who proposed the existence of the so-called "God particle" that helped explain how matter formed after the Big Bang, died on Monday following a short illness.
The University of Edinburgh reported on Tuesday that Nobel winner Peter Higgs, the man who gave rise to the God particle that helped explain how matter formed after the Big Bang, has died at age 94.
The 'God particle' or Higgs boson is the particle that is supposed to account for the mass of every other fundamental particle. What does that mean? Here is a look.
A decade of Higgs Boson research has passed since the god particle was first discovered on July 4th, 2012. In the last ten years, scientists have extracted large amounts of data from the Large Hadron Collider.
