On April 8, 2024, British theoretical physicist Peter Ware Higgs passed away at the age of 94. It was almost 12 years ago, on July 4, 2012, in a fairly inauspicious lecture hall located in Geneva, ...

Our universe appears to be doing so now, which means that over time more and more stars are disappearing outside of our view.

If you’ve been a science fan for the last few years, you’re aware of the exciting results to emerge from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which in 2012 found the Higgs boson, the subatomic particle ...

There are probably very few people on this globe who at some point in time haven’t heard the term ‘Higgs Boson’ zip past, along with the term ‘God Particle’. As during the 2010s the scientists at CERN ...

Ten years ago, scientists announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, which helps explain why elementary particles (the smallest building blocks of nature) have mass. For particle physicists, this was ...

We all know and love the Higgs boson — which to physicists' chagrin has been mistakenly tagged in the media as the "God particle" — a subatomic particle first spotted in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC ...

A weird theoretical cousin of the Higgs boson, one that inspired the decades-long hunt for the elusive particle, has been properly observed for the first time. The discovery bookends one of the most ...

This month 40 years ago Peter Higgs wrote two papers that might explain the origins of mass. However, as Peter Rodgers discovers, he is reluctant to take too much of the credit Looking back Peter ...

One of the exciting aspects of some fields of physics is that they involve calculating the expected time until the Universe ends or experiences fundamental shifts that would render most if not all of ...

Higgs and Englert, winners of the 2013 Nobel prize (Courtesy: Dirk Dahmer; CERN) The 2013 Nobel Prize for Physics has been awarded to François Englert and Peter Higgs for the theoretical discovery of ...
