In 2013, the British scientist was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for having predicted as early as 1964 the existence of a particle finally discovered in 2012 at CERN.

Physicist Peter Higgs, Nobel laureate known for the Higgs boson theory, passed away at 94. His groundbreaking work reshaped our understanding of the universe

They called it the "elusive" God Particle. But they found it in the end — the Higgs boson. Its namesake, British physicist and Nobel Laureate Peter Higgs, lived to see the impact of his science. Higgs died aged 94 years.

Peter Higgs has passed away at the age of 94. An iconic figure in modern science, Higgs in 1964 postulated the existence of the eponymous Higgs boson. Its discovery at CERN in 2012 was the crowning achievement of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics – a remarkable theory which explains the visible universe at the most fundamental level. Alongside Robert Brout and François Englert, and building on the work of a generation of physicists, Higgs postulated the existence of the Brout-Englert-Higgs (BEH) field. Alone among known fundamental fields, the BEH field is “turned on” througho...
