The elusive Higgs particle has the power to undo physics as we know it. The fact that it hasn't could have big implications about the nature of the universe.

Because the Higgs boson exists, we know that the field exists. Although our universe may seem stable, having existed for a whopping 13.7 billion years, several experiments suggest that it is at ...

The Higgs boson is responsible for the mass and interactions of all the particles we know of. That’s because particle masses are a consequence of elementary particles interacting with a field ...

On June 27, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Europe reported the most precise value yet of the top quark’s mass, which is related by the Higgs field to whether our universe could ...

Nobel prize-winning physicist Peter Higgs, responsible for the one the greatest scientific discoveries in the last century, died at the age of 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 particle's existence could be confirmed at the Large Hadron ...

Peter Higgs, who theorized the existence of the ground-breaking Higgs boson 50 years before it was officially discovered, died after a brief illness.

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. According ...

The Higgs boson was named for him. It was a key element of the Standard Model, which encapsulated all human knowledge so far about elementary particles.

Nobel prizewinning theoretical physicist Peter Higgs has died aged 94. He proposed the particle that gives other particles mass – now named the Higgs boson and discovered by the Large Hadron ...

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 ...
